Day-to-Day Mosquito Control: Attractions & Breeding Grounds
Knowing how mosquitoes generally operate can not only help you keep them at bay, it can help you control your interactions with them when away from home. Here are a few common things to avoid:
- Wearing Dark Colors Outdoors. When you wear dark colors outdoors, you’re potentially making yourself a target for hungry mosquitoes. Due to their poor eyesight, mosquitoes are drawn to high-contrast areas, and your black t-shirt can act as a dinner bell for any mosquitoes in your vicinity.
- Dusk & Dawn. The hours surrounding dusk and dawn are when mosquito activity peaks. Planning your daily run around these hours can help decrease your chances of running into a swarm, and in turn decrease your chances of being bitten.
- Standing Water & Leaf Litter. Recognizing mosquito breeding grounds can go a long way toward controlling your exposure to these annoying insects. Mosquitoes breeding near sources of standing water and take shelter in damp leaf litter, making these environments hotbeds of mosquito activity. Clear your lawn of these conditions and avoid them when you’re away from home to further cut down on your risk of encountering hungry mosquitoes.
