It’s the time of the year for parties, picnics, and pests. The good news is that you don’t have to let annoying mosquitoes ruin your good time. With our mosquito spraying service, available in Duncansville, Altoona, and nearby areas in PA, we can ensure these insects are kept at bay all season, so you can enjoy your time outside.
Besides spraying your lawn, we’ll also give you tips and advice on how to make your yard less friendly to these unwanted invaders. While there are many products out there that work against mosquitoes, there are some that are just hype. So, what are some different repellents to consider and which should you avoid? Here’s the verdict.
- Smart phone apps. With today’s technology, you’d think there would be an app for that. Sadly, when tested, those available don’t work. The theory is that certain apps emit the same sound as dragonflies, which prey on mosquitoes. However, there’s no evidence these actually provide protection. The same goes for sonic devices. They sound good but aren’t effective.
- Citronella candles. There’s no evidence that citronella candles work, either. However, candles in general can draw mosquitoes to them, since they emit heat, carbon dioxide, and moisture, and away from people, so they can provide a small measure of relief.
- DEET, picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus oil. Any product containing DEET or picaridin as an active ingredient is one of the most effective ways to keep insects off you when you’re outside. If you’d prefer something natural, lemon eucalyptus oil—formulated in an actual insect repellent product—has the stamp of approval from the CDC.
