Mosquitoes are a terrible nuisance to have around your home. With our powerful mosquito spraying in the Providence area, Lawn Doctor of Cache Valley is proud to offer effective protection against these enemies of summer.
In order to supplement our service and protect yourself even further, there are many DIY options out there. Let’s take a look at the good and the bad.
Anti-Mosquito Tactics To Use or Avoid
Avoid wasting money on these products:
- Smartphone Apps. Many apps claim to be able to repel mosquitoes. It would be nice if it was true. Unfortunately, it is a complete lie. There is no such app in existence, so steer clear.
- Citronella Candles. These popular anti-mosquito remedies are actually no more effective than any regular candle.
- Wristbands. These devices are designed to be worn around your wrist and emit insect repellent. This will protect your wrist, and only your wrist. The rest of your body will remain completely undefended.
Here are some solutions that actually work:
- DEET or Picaridin. The main active ingredients in most insect repellents. These chemicals work very well at protecting your skin. However, there is some concern about potential health effects. We recommend utilizing these products only when you are away from home in a mosquito-rich environment.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. Slightly less effective than DEET or picaridin, but still a good choice for skin protection. This is the only botanical remedy recommended by the CDC to fight mosquitoes.
- Mosquito Traps. These should never be relied upon as your sole means of defense, but in conjunction with our expert treatment, they can be incredibly useful.
