To help you enjoy additional protection from these terrible pests, we would like to share our tips for which products work and which do not. Let’s take a look.
Anti-Mosquito Products: The Good and the Bad
Products to avoid:
- Smartphone Apps. By emitting the sounds of dragonflies, these apps claim to scare away mosquitoes. Since dragonflies prey on mosquitoes, this may seem like a reasonable idea. Unfortunately, they simply do not work.
- Citronella Candles. These candles are commonly believed to protect you from mosquitoes. This is one of those myths wrapped in truth. While they do offer some level of protection, this same result can be achieved with any ordinary candle. Their effect simply comes from the heat and carbon dioxide they give off.
- Protective Wristbands. These products can only protect the area of your body where they are worn, so the rest of you will remain fully exposed to mosquito attacks.
Products that actually work:
- Chemical Repellents. These are especially useful when you are in the forest or some other mosquito-infested area that cannot be professionally treated. Any repellent with DEET or picardin as the active ingredient will repel mosquitoes from the point of attack. Be careful about overusing these products though, as there is some uncertainty about potential health effects.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. For those that want a botanical mosquito-repelling option, this is the only choice recommended by the CDC.
- Mosquito Traps. Strategically placing mosquito traps around your yard can certainly help to limit these pests.
Trusted Mosquito Spraying in the Brewster Area
The most effective way to reduce mosquito issues is to prevent standing water from accumulating on your property. Mosquitoes need these habitats in order to breed, and they can reproduce in large numbers with only a small source of water.
