Effective Mosquito Control for Cary Residents: What to Avoid
One of the biggest components of effectively controlling the mosquito populations present in your lawn, as well as generally limiting your interactions with these dangerous pests is understanding their behavior and attractions. Here are some key things to avoid to help limit your exposure to mosquitoes:
- Wearing Dark Colors. Mosquitoes’ poor eyesight draws them to sharp contrasts in the environment. When you wear dark colors, you’re easily distinguishable from the background, and thus an easy target for hungry mosquitoes. Being conscious of this and opting for lighter colors will help keep the mosquitoes at bay.
- Activities at Dawn and Dusk. Mosquitoes are the most active at dawn and dusk, and outdoor activities at these hours result in a higher chance of being bitten. Limit your contact with mosquitoes by scheduling outdoor activities around these times.
- A Messy Lawn. Messy lawns provide a safe haven for mosquitoes. Standing water sources, leaf litter, shady areas and underbrush provide breeding grounds for incoming populations of mosquitoes, and can result in a stubborn infestation. Clear your lawn of these conditions and keep it tidy – especially after heavy rain – to discourage mosquitoes from settling into your lawn.
