Mosquitoes are notorious for their ability to ruin summer activities and cover our arms and legs with itchy bites. They also spread disease and infect our precious pets with heartworm. To get control of this issue and protect your yard, Lawn Doctor of Bel Air-Parkville provides effective mosquito spraying for Forest Hill properties. We use excellent supplies and rely on our comprehensive methods to destroy adult mosquitoes as well as their offspring.
To help you enjoy even stronger protection against this common summer threat, we’d like to suggest some DIY tactics that can supplement our expert service. In addition, we’d like to point out a few solutions you should definitely avoid.
Anti-Mosquito Tactics To Use or Avoid
Steer clear of these ineffective methods:
- Smartphone Apps. Despite what you may see in the app store, the technology to repel mosquitoes through your smartphone does not yet exist.
- Citronella Candles. For many years, these candles have been considered to be a helpful form of protection from mosquitoes. However, after a recent study, it is now clear that they do not offer any more protection than a regular candle.
- Wristbands. These claim to repel mosquitoes by releasing mosquito repellents from your wrist. The truth is, they will only provide minimal protection for the area in which they are worn, leaving the remainder of your body fully exposed.
Here are some tips that will actually work:
- Skin Repellents with Active Ingredients. Most of these include DEET or picardin, which provide powerful protection for your skin. While these products can be useful at reducing bites, we encourage you not to overuse them, as there are some concerns about potential health effects.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. This is the only botanical option endorsed by the CDC for repelling mosquitoes.
- Mosquito Traps. A strategically placed trap will quickly fill up with dead mosquitoes. These can be a very nice addition to your home protection.
