With summer here, it’s time for hiking, swimming, and spending all your free time outdoors. The problem? Mosquitoes. They’re always a nuisance and on the prowl for their next meal. How can you keep them away and enjoy life outside? There are many products available with varying effectiveness. To help you protect yourself and your time outside, here are some tips from our mosquito spraying team, serving Blue Bell, Doylestown, and nearby areas in PA.
- Check your yard. If you have areas with standing water, from puddles to clogged gutters, kiddie pools, buckets, and anything else holding water, mosquitoes will find and breed in them. So, walk around your yard looking for any culprits and then empty, remove, or clear them out.
- Try a trap. Another way to reduce populations in your lawn is with a mosquito trap. These can be on the pricier side, but do cut down on the number of mosquitoes. They work to attract mosquitoes with carbon dioxide, bait, or a combination and then trap them with methods like sticky paper.
- Spray with the right repellent. Don’t use just any mosquito spraying product on store shelves in the Blue Bell area. Make sure you are reading labels because not all are created equal. The active ingredient should be either DEET or Picaridin. For a natural remedy, a repellent with lemon eucalyptus oil also works.
You can use any of these methods or a combination for the best results. However, a few products to avoid include sonic devices, apps, and wrist bands. Sonic devices and apps are supposed to work by sending out a sound that’s similar to dragonflies, a natural mosquito predator. Unfortunately, when tested, they don’t deliver. The same goes for wrist bands made with repellent.
