Lawn Safety and Enjoying Your Lawn
No doubt you are like millions of people who enjoy being in your yard or lawn. Your lawn is an extension of your home and creating a safe, enjoyable and comfortable outdoor atmosphere is also an extension of health, happiness and well being for you and your family.
Outdoor lighting is probably one of the most important safety features for night time enjoyment of your lawn since falls are the most common accidents in and around the home. Clutter, toys or objects on the ground hidden under the cover of darkness can spell disaster. Lighting placed around driveways, pathways and stairs can minimize the number of falls and injuries due to poorly lit areas. Outdoor lighting can be used for security, safety and accenting landscaping. Hiding places for intruders lurk around the home in the shadows and dark places around the lawn. Illumination of these areas will increase safety, and provide security from unwanted intruders and break-ins. Using motion activated lighting, solar lighting, or lanterns will facilitate a safe and efficient environment for you and your family.
There is nothing more annoying than trying to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing time in your yard or lawn than being bothered by insects or pests. We are all aware that mosquitoes carry West Nile Virus, but they also carry malaria, dog heart worm parasites, Eastern equine encephalitis, yellow and dengue fever and can cause allergic reactions. Over a million people die a year from mosquito born diseases. Mosquito trap devices are available and will help control not only mosquitoes, but biting flies and other blood sucking insects. For small animal problems such as rats, cats, squirrels, raccoons and insects such as spiders, fleas, ticks and crawling insects, use safe and effective sonic and ultrasonic products.
Deer love to munch on shrubs, flowers and anything in the vegetable garden. Non-toxic, odorless, natural and environmentally safe products can be used to deter deer and rabbits from eating your ornamentals, shrubs and plants.
Birds are a lovely addition to any lawn or yard setting. But sometimes birds can make a nuisance of themselves by creating nests and roosting in inconvenient places. To keep birds from roosting and nesting in undesirable areas of your property, use bird netting, sonic and ultrasonic bird blasters, and of course there is always the tried and true scare method. Scare devices are humane and effective in controlling unwanted aggressive birds.
If you love songbirds, and want to increase the music of these beautiful creatures, you can attract them by calling them. Electronic Songbird Magnets reproduces songs of Eastern Bluebirds, Baltimore Orioles, House Wrens, House Finches, Purple Martins, American Goldfinches and Indigo Buntings. Bird feeders that are squirrel proof and feeders that discourage seed wasting birds, will add a healthy and happy environment to your songbirds.

Burrowing creatures such as moles, shrews, woodchucks, pocket mice and gophers can utterly destroy a lawn. Moles in particular can cause considerable damage to your lawn by digging tunnels or mounds and disturbing root systems. Mole Chasers are non- pesticide devices that safely drive out and chase away these destructive and unwanted visitors by using ultrasonic sound waves and ground vibrations.
