Is your barn ready for the spring? The new season brings new challenges, including damage to the structure of the barn, pests, and more. Preparing your barn for spring helps minimize the possible challenges you’ll face as the weather changes. Here’s what you should do to prepare your barn for spring.
Identify Damage & Perform Repairs as Necessary
Spring is the perfect time to inspect the barn for damages -and make necessary repairs before summer rolls in hotter than ever. Sweat the small stuff and ensure it’s repaired. Broken latches, damaged stalls, failing siding, and roof damage can jeopardize the barn structure as well as the animals and livestock inside.
Clean the Barn
Dont be surprised if your barn looks as if winter just hit it hard. Snow and falling temperatures can cause water seepage, excess moisture, dirt, and debris to accumulate in all the wrong places. Clean the barn thoroughly and keep it safe for your animals and livestock.
Install a Spider Misting System
Spring season is the most motivating one of the entire year. We’re all excited to get outside and smell the fresh air and hear the delightful sounds of birds chirping after being stuck indoors all winter long. The spring season includes pleasant weather and plenty of rain, all motivating factors for pest infestations inside the barn.
Install a spider misting system around the barn perimeter to keep this insect, as well as mosquitos, gnats, no see ums, and other critters away from your horses and stables. Misting systems protect animals and the structure of the barn while providing complete peace of mind to homeowners. It’s the number one pest control strategy available for your barn.
Declutter & Restock
Spring cleaning season has arrived: don’t forget your barn. Cleaning out the clutter helps keep pests away, ensures the comfort of your animals and livestock, and overall reduces your workload.
While decluttering, be sure to restock your barn supplies. Know the items that you need most and make lists including those items. It’s common that barn restocking takes place in the spring since many of the supplies diminish during the long, cold water.
