Skip the DIY Mosquito Control
It’s true that there are many ways to keep mosquitoes away from your yard with simple at-home fixes. These include chemical mosquito repellents, mosquito repelling plants, candles and fires, fans, and even wearing lightly colored clothing. The problem is that none of these options actually reduce the mosquito population in your area. They just keep mosquitoes at bay for as long as any one method is being used. As soon as you stop, they’ll come right back. Quality mosquito extermination is the only way to guarantee elimination at all stages of development. Our advice: avoid DIY half measures and opt straight for the permanent results from Mitchell Pest Solutions.
How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes
There are several ways to get rid of mosquitoes, ranging from preventive measures to using traps or repellents. Here are some effective methods:
- Remove Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so eliminating any standing water around your home can help reduce their population. This includes emptying containers like flower pots, bird baths, and gutters.
- Use Mosquito Repellents: Apply mosquito repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin when spending time outdoors. You can also use mosquito-repellent candles or incense when relaxing outside.
- Install Screens: Make sure all windows and doors have screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
- Wear Protective Clothing: Wear long sleeves, pants, and socks when outdoors, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
- Use Mosquito Traps: There are various types of mosquito traps available, including electric traps, CO2 traps, and propane traps, which attract and kill mosquitoes.
- Plant Mosquito-Repellent Plants: Certain plants like citronella, lavender, marigold, and basil have natural mosquito-repellent properties. Planting them around your home can help deter mosquitoes.
- Use Mosquito Netting: If you're camping or sleeping outdoors, use mosquito nets over beds or around outdoor seating areas.
- Treat Water Sources: If you have ornamental ponds or other water features, consider using larvicides or adding mosquito-eating fish like gambusia to control mosquito larvae.
- Professional Pest Control: If you have a severe mosquito problem that you can't control on your own, consider hiring a professional pest control service.
Remember that combining multiple methods is often the most effective approach to controlling mosquito populations.
