You’re Forgetting to Tidy One Area of Your Yard and it’s Attracting Pests – 5 Things Experts Urge You to do Right Now to Prevent the Problem

Garden shed in fall.

I don't know about you but I feel like there's a never-ending list of things to get done this month before winter truly arrives and frost takes over my yard. In the midst of mulching and pruning, I realized there's one area of my yard I've neglected to give any attention: the shed.

While giving your shed a tidy up may be low down on your fall gardening checklist, it's actually quite important to give it some TLC before you retreat indoors for winter. Pest control experts say that messy, unorganized, debris-filled sheds are the perfect spot for overwintering pests to hide. When spring comes around, they may just make their way into your yard and cause mayhem among your planting. Plus, they could cause damage within your shed in the meantime.
