How to Keep Your Kansas City Patio Bug-Free

This season, mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance. Learn how you can reduce your exposure to these and other insects with a Kansas City Patio from York Companies.

Because insects like mosquitoes can carry potentially harmful diseases, it’s important to do all that you can to reduce your and your family’s exposure. Here are few tasks you can easily tackle this weekend:

• Eliminate any standing water around your yard. Mosquitoes can lay and hatch eggs in less than 1/2 inch of water, so be sure to check on plant saucers, dog bowls, and tarps after every rain.
• Get rid of junk that could become habitats, such as old tires, empty plastic flower pots, and fallen branches.
• Clean your gutters so that water can flow freely.

These are all important tips, but no matter what we do, there may still be mosquitoes around. One way you can enjoy these late summer evenings without worry is with a screened-in Kansas City patio from York Companies.
