hi all!
i I am working at a campground.
We have a lot of long grass and weed areas.
These areas are festering grounds for bugs, especially the biting kind.
horseflies and deer flies plague us! I want to cut all of the grass, and leave it as it is,
but the staff here believes it will create a mosquito problem just leaving the grass on the ground.
I was wondering, is there anyway to cut and leave the grass resulting in less biting horseflies?
Or do I cut the grass, clean it up, and choose some kind of low lying ground cover
that would smother out any tall grass and weeds coming in?
Preferably one that would act as a bug repellent?
basically, I want to kill two birds with one stone. No more long weedy grass areas, and no more flying biting insects.
any ideas?
