about protecting their grounds and
tenants from these dangerous pests.
The key to minimizing the impact of
mosquitoes and ticks on your property
is prevention. For mosquito preven-
tion, thoroughly inspect your property
and make sure that all standing water,
which mosquitoes use to lay their
eggs and breed, is eliminated. For
tick prevention, eliminate tick harbor-
age sites, including good lawn care.
High grass means high ticks! There
are also preventative mosquito and
tick treatments available from pest
control services that act as a barrier
to keep these pests off your property.
Stinging Insects
Having stinging insects around your
property is more than an annoy-

larly dangerous since they can sting
a person multiple times. Unfortunately,
the building structures around our
communities often provide the perfect
shelter for stinging insects to build their
nests. Pools, ponds and other water
and food sources nearby will attract
them to an area.
Some colonies can contain hun-
dreds of insects all of whom may
sting the aggressor in defense of the
nest. Needless to say, getting rid of
stinging insects can be a potentially
dangerous job that requires the right
training and the right equipment.
Leave hive and nest removal left to the
professionals.
Termites
Termites. Just hearing the world can
send shivers down the spine of any
property manager, and rightfully so.
Because of the covert nature of the
termite, your best bet to catch an infes-
tation early on. Property managers
should be on alert for signs of termite
activity on their properties. The two
major signs of termites are:

mites found inside or outside of
