When it comes to battling mosquitoes, there are a lot of misconceptions about what does and does not work. At Lawn Doctor of Central-South Erie County, our mosquito spraying service provides terrific results for Orchard Park properties. In addition to our direct support in destroying mosquitoes, we’d also like to help by pointing you in the right direction regarding anti-mosquito products.
First, it is always a good idea to protect your skin from bites. This is particularly true when you venture away from home into areas that have not received our professional mosquito treatments. You can use a chemical repellent that contains DEET or picaridin for excellent protection. If you would rather go the botanical route, you can use lemon eucalyptus oil.
For enhanced home protection, mosquito traps are a great asset. However, reducing standing water is the most important way you can help. Removing these habitats will deprive mosquitoes of their chance to reproduce. Given how quickly they can multiply and take over your yard, this mosquito control aspect is crucial.
Anti-Mosquito Products To Avoid
Now that we have gone over some helpful ways to reduce mosquitoes, let’s take a look at a few products that will not deliver on expectations:
- Smartphone Apps. These claim to work by giving off dragonfly sounds from your phone. As dragonflies commonly feed on mosquitoes, this is supposed to scare them away. The problem? It simply does not work. Mosquitoes are aggressive pests that desperately need human and mammal blood to support their offspring. They are more than willing to die for the cause, so the presence of their natural predator will not stop them at all.
- Citronella Candles. While these candles can lure mosquitoes away from you due to the heat and moisture they give off. However, the same can be said for any candle, so there’s no reason to seek out this specific product.
- Protective Wristbands. These products contain repellents or essential oils and claim to prevent bites when worn on your wrist. Unfortunately, these products simply do not provide the protection they advertise.
