Why Stapleton Yards Can Have Mosquito & Tick Pressure
Stapleton combines dense residential blocks, slopes and pockets of vegetation, so treatment depends on identifying sheltered foliage, yard edges and water-holding sources on each property.
Even on tighter lots, mosquitoes can use shrubs, alleys, courtyards, decks, neighboring vegetation and small standing-water sources. Sloped properties and terraced landscaping can create shaded retaining edges, dense foundation plantings and protected pockets that deserve close inspection. Mature hedges, ivy, ornamental beds and layered landscaping can create cool protected zones that are easy for mosquitoes and ticks to use.
