Often without realizing it, pest problems are created by the choices made in landscape plants around the facility and how they are placed and maintained.

Keep the following in mind:

- Yew shrubs and other low evergreen shrubs should not be planted next to the building. These shrubs have low drooping branches that create "caverns" that can attract all kinds of pests. Often litter--food wrappers or debris--can get trapped underneath. Moles, mice, or even larger animals can nest in these areas.
Recommendation: remove these shrubs or keep the lower branches trimmed up to eliminate pest harborage and facilitate cleaning.

- Fruiting trees such as crab apples may cause problems by attracting flies, yellow jackets and other pests to fruit that falls and rots below the trees.

- Tree branches that overlap the roof of the building can act like pest highways, providing access for carpenter ants, mice or other pests. Trim back branches and avoid planting trees close to buildings.

- Bird feeders that allow a lot of spillage of seeds can attract rodents and other pests. Select "tube" feeders over the open platform type and place feeders well away from the building to limit pest attraction.
