Why New Brighton Yards Can Have Mosquito & Tick Pressure
New Brighton combines North Shore density with hills and mature landscaping, making side yards, shrubs, retaining edges and connected green areas important inspection points.
Sloped properties and terraced landscaping can create shaded retaining edges, dense foundation plantings and protected pockets that deserve close inspection. Even on tighter lots, mosquitoes can use shrubs, alleys, courtyards, decks, neighboring vegetation and small standing-water sources. Mature hedges, ivy, ornamental beds and layered landscaping can create cool protected zones that are easy for mosquitoes and ticks to use.
