Pet adoption is a big decision. Whether adopting from a pet rescue, shelter or breeder, it’s helpful to think through how to do it right before jumping in. Giroud Tree and Lawn's Blog post, "Making the Home Safe for Rescued Pets," shares tips that families need to know about how to find the best pet match, understand the care a pet requires and the steps necessary to get the home and yard prepared.
Part of getting a home ready for pets is making the yard and outdoor spaces safe. Many families want to have a nice lawn and control dangerous pests like ticks and mosquitos,” says Lou Giroud, President of Giroud Tree and Lawn. “But, some lawn and pest control treatments are not safe for pets. Be sure to ask the lawn service or pest control company if the treatments are pet friendly. For example, Giroud's Organic Mosquito and Tick control is made with essential oils including peppermint and cedar. These natural ingredients make this pest control safe for pets as well as children and pollinators like bees and butterflies.”
Other steps to making your outdoor space pet friendly include:
1. Remove containers that collect water or hold chemicals. This will minimize the chances of the pet drinking tainted water and will also reduce mosquito populations.
2. Prune or Remove Overgrown Vegetation: Ticks tend to hide out in shady spots just waiting to latch on to any warm body passing by including pets. Reduce tick populations by eliminating shady tick habitats. Clean up overgrown areas. Hire a tree service to prune tree branches and shrubs around the lawn edge to let in more sunlight.
3. Fencing: Ensure pet safety by installing a standing or underground wireless fence.
