Effective Mosquito Control: Common Attractions
When you know what mosquitoes are attracted to and where they breed, you can control your exposure to them more effectively. Here is a quick rundown of some common mosquito attractions to help you limit your interaction with them and also to help keep them from taking up residence in your yard:
1. Dark Clothing
When mosquitoes are looking for their next target, they’re likely to choose something that sharply contrasts with the background, which is due to their poor eyesight. Steering clear of dark colors while outdoors and opting for lighter colors or neutrals can help to camouflage you from mosquitoes and decrease your chances of being bitten.
2. The Dawn and Dusk Hours
Another note about mosquito activity is that they are the most active during dawn and dusk. These are the times during which you’re at the greatest risk of being bitten, and scheduling outdoor activities around these hours can help you keep interaction to a minimum.
3. Unkempt Lawns
Mosquitoes love messy lawns. They take shelter in shade and breed near any standing water or moist leaf litter hanging around. Keep your lawn tidy to help control your lawn’s resident mosquito population and make your lawn more enjoyable as a result.
