When it comes to keeping these pests in check, it’s hard to know what works and what doesn’t. Take it from our mosquito spraying team, serving Summit, Bridgewater, and nearby areas in NJ, some products provide plenty of protection and others are just hype. How can you tell the difference? Here’s what to know.
Look for products containing DEET or picaridin. These have been tested and proven to repel mosquitoes. If you’d prefer something that’s more natural, another option is mosquito repellent with lemon eucalyptus oil in it. This is also effective and even recommended by the CDC.
Place a fan on your patio, porch, or deck. Mosquitoes aren’t strong fliers, so this can help keep them away. It also helps clear up the body odors and carbon dioxide that are attracting them.
Remove any areas with standing water in your yard. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so empty out buckets and tarps, clean out clogged gutters, and refresh the water in your bird bath each week.
Avoid the apps you can download to your phone or devices you can wear. They claim to keep mosquitoes away by emitting a sound similar to dragonflies, which are a natural predator of mosquitoes. Unfortunately, there’s been no evidence that these provide protection.
Don’t waste time with wristbands, either. Another product that falls short when tested are wristbands made with repellent. They might protect your wrist, but not much else.
