Matted leaves in shaded areas can harbor large amounts of ants, spiders, silverfish, and contribute to gnat and mosquito swarms. In the winter time, it can be a shelter for smaller rodents which will protect them if or when they can enter your home or business.
Removing debris such as this can help prevent possible pest activity from entering the structure and make outside living spaces tolerable year round. Keep an eye out for water sources building up and not drying out and on your gutters draining properly.
