At Lawn Doctor of Walnut Creek-Concord, our mosquito spraying service provides excellent protection for Alamo properties. In addition to our professional treatments, we’d also like to share our expert wisdom and help you navigate the vast world of mosquito-related products.
There are a few products and tactics you can use to complement our expert support and enjoy even stronger protection. However, there are also many so-called “solutions” that don’t actually work. The most common among these are smartphone apps and anti-mosquito wristbands.
While our phones seem to do nearly everything these days, they are not capable of deterring mosquitoes. Many apps exist that use dragonfly sounds to drive mosquitoes away. The logic may seem sound on the surface, as dragonflies are a natural predator of mosquitoes, but the fact is they don’t work at all. Their ineffectiveness highlights just how resilient mosquitoes can be.
All mosquito bites come from female mosquitoes attempting to support their offspring. They are desperate and fueled by the natural instinct to protect their young. Half-hearted measures like these apps will do nothing to stop their attacks. Truth be told, they aren’t even scared off by actual dragonflies.
For similar reasons, any wristband claiming to repel mosquitoes is also something to avoid. These emit repellents, but this is nowhere near good enough to protect your body. At best, it can drive mosquitoes away from the area around your wrist, leaving the rest of you fully exposed. Do not spend your money on these products.
Ways to Supplement Our Expert Mosquito Spraying
Now that we’ve covered a few products that don’t work, let’s take a look at three key ways to protect yourself:
- Skin Repellents. Wearing chemical repellents or lemon eucalyptus oil on your skin is a terrific way to reduce bites.
- Mosquito Traps. A strategically-placed mosquito trap can be a helpful part of your home defense.
- Prevent Standing Water. Standing water is their only egg-laying habitat, so limiting these areas is absolutely critical.
