What do Type O blood, beer consumption, and high levels of activity have in common? They all make you more of a target for mosquito bites. The good news is that as local mosquito control experts serving families all over the Brentwood, Plaistow, Merrimack, Chester, and Dover, NH areas, we know there are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself. These include:
- Cover up. During peak points of activity in the Brentwood area from dawn to dusk, mosquito control can be done by making sure you’re covered up when you’re outside. Wear long sleeves and pants made from fabrics, like synthetics, that insects have a more difficult time biting through.
- Choose light colors. When you’re outside, try to blend in more. Colors like white and yellow make you less of a mosquito magnet thanks to the fact that these insects see dark objects more easily.
- Reduce breeding spots around your home. As local mosquito control professionals, we know that mosquitoes in the Brentwood area breed and multiply in standing and slow-moving water. So anything where water collects and sits on your property or outside of your home should be emptied or removed. These include bird baths, trash cans, loose tarps, empty vases, and old tires.
- Trim trees and shrubs. Thanks to the area’s daytime heat, mosquitoes will gravitate toward dark, overgrown areas in your lawn. Remove these mosquito shelters by pruning them back and also cleaning up other potential hiding spots, like wood and leaf piles.
- Wear a repellent. If you’re outside during dawn or dusk, or in a wooded or shaded area, consider putting on a repellent. When using one, carefully read and follow the instructions.
- Use other mosquito control devices. While candles and coils are limited in the amount of protection they can provide, they can be effective in small areas in Brentwood under the right conditions.
