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\u00a0NJ, some products provide plenty of protection and others are just hype. How can you tell the difference? Here’s what to know.<\/p>\n
Look for products containing DEET or picaridin.<\/strong> These have been tested and proven to repel mosquitoes. If you’d prefer something that’s more natural, another option is mosquito repellent with\u00a0lemon eucalyptus oil in it. This is also effective and even recommended by the CDC.<\/p>\n Place a fan on your patio, porch, or deck. <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n Remove any areas with standing water in your yard. <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n Avoid the apps\u00a0you can download to your phone or\u00a0devices you can wear.<\/strong> They\u00a0claim to keep mosquitoes away by\u00a0emitting a sound\u00a0similar to dragonflies, which are a natural predator of mosquitoes. Unfortunately, there’s been no evidence that these provide protection.<\/p>\n Don’t waste time with wristbands, either.<\/strong>\u00a0Another product that falls short when tested are wristbands made with repellent. They might protect your wrist, but not much else.<\/p>\n If you’d like the strongest defense against mosquitoes, get help from the professionals trusted from Summit to Bridgewater and beyond.
