Get Your Outdoor Living Area Ready for the Holidays

by

It’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas…in some parts of the country. It might not look like a winter wonderland here in Arizona, but we’re still preparing for the holiday season! If you’re getting ready to host family and friends at your home this season, then you’re probably spending most of your time getting your home’s interior ready. But because Arizona doesn’t get too cold, it’s also important to think about your outdoor living area. These tips can help you prepare your home’s exterior space for holiday guests and festivities:

Hit the Deck

If you have a deck in your backyard, then you and your loved ones will likely want to spend some time outside during the holiday season. Whether you’re taking advantage of the Arizona not-so-winter weather to use your barbeque for holiday meals or simply to sit outside while enjoying some hot beverages together, it’s a good idea to make sure your deck is holiday-ready. This should include cleaning and rearranging any outdoor furniture you have so that the space is prepared for all the guests you plan to have at your home. You should also sweep away any leaves, dirt, and debris from the deck’s surface. If you find pigeon waste on your deck, you should contact a pigeon waste removal company for professional services. That way, you can feel confident knowing that your deck has been properly cleaned and is ready for any outdoor holiday time!

Pay Attention to Your Patio

You don’t need to have a deck to spend quality time outside during the holiday season. If you have a patio in your backyard, then you might find that your guests want to spend some time outside when you’re all together celebrating. Just like with a deck, it’s important to pay attention to your patio so that you’re aware of any issues that need to be taken care of before your guests arrive. Clean and rearrange outdoor furniture as needed to make the space ready for all of your guests. Sweep the area and look for any pigeons or pigeon waste. If you spot either, then you might want to contact a pigeon waste removal company to learn about their services. Professional waste removal and trapping will ensure that birds and their waste are not present when your guests arrive—so everyone can feel comfortable and confident sitting outside!

Set Your Sights on Your Solar Panels

Since we have so much sunlight here in Arizona, it’s pretty common to see solar panels on top of many households throughout the state. If you have solar panels, it is important to maintain them throughout the year—especially if you’ll be having guests over and will have even more people relying on your home’s electricity. Inspecting your solar panels regularly and removing any leaves or other debris is an important task. During your inspections, you might find pigeons or their waste around your panels. If you do, it’s important to set up professional waste removal services as soon as possible. Pigeons love solar panels because they provide a great place to live and avoid predators, but they can quickly damage the panels and their waste can also be harmful to your investment. With professional help, you can easily maintain your solar panels so they work as efficiently as possible.

Keep Pests Away

Nobody likes unwanted guests around the holiday season—and pigeons are no exception! You want to welcome your loved ones to your home this winter, but you don’t want to welcome annoying birds that can be harmful to your health and property. Luckily, you can contact a pigeon waste removal company before your guests arrive to learn about prevention options. Keeping pigeons away from your home is the best way to make sure they don’t bother your guests or leave droppings on your property. Abatement options include screening and netting to keep pigeons out of certain spaces and make other spaces less appealing to them. A professional will have the right tools and equipment to protect your space so you can focus on having fun and making lasting memories with your loved ones.
