Beware of critters

If you have kids or dogs that want to play in the grass, remember that, though it’s your private property, critters don’t recognize private property. Spider, bees, ants, ticks, and the like – they don’t care that you have a “no trespassing sign.” This is another thing to speak to a landscaper about. Discuss eco-friendly ways to treat your yard to repel insects.
