If you’re looking for professional mosquito spraying in the Ellenwood area, Lawn Doctor of McDonough-Covington has you covered. We offer fast-acting treatments that destroy mosquitoes as they rest. Our services are quick, effective, and budget-friendly.
To complement our mosquito services and protect yourself when away from home, there are a few products we recommend. Insect repellents with DEET or picaridin as the active ingredient work great when applied to your skin. Lemon eucalyptus oil can also work nicely as a botanical alternative. For added protection around your home or business, a well-placed mosquito trap can help.
While these products pair nicely with our expert mosquito spraying and help you avoid these pests, many other products are out there that just don’t work. To help you avoid wasting time and money on ineffective solutions, let’s take a look at some products not to buy.
Anti-Mosquito Products That Do Not Work
We encourage you to avoid the following mosquito products:
- Mosquito-Repelling Smartphone Apps. These apps claim to rely on the sounds of dragonflies to scare mosquitoes away. Although dragonflies are a natural predator of mosquitoes, this method has been proven completely ineffective.
- Citronella Candles. These candles give off carbon dioxide, heat, and moisture to lure mosquitoes and keep them away from your skin. They are on this list because you can create the exact same effect with any candle. The idea that these candles offer special protection against mosquitoes is entirely false.
- Protective Wristbands. A wristband that emits repellents may sound like a convenient solution. However, these products will only shield a tiny area of your body around where they are worn. The rest of your skin will be vulnerable to mosquito attacks.
Trusted Mosquito Spraying in the Ellenwood Area
Reducing standing water is the most important factor in long-term success against mosquitoes. These pests nurture their offspring exclusively on standing water, so you can cut off their breeding cycle by taking away these habitats. Mosquitoes are very resilient and opportunistic, so it is nearly impossible to completely solve this issue. But with property inspections, DIY tips, and other support from our professionals, we can dramatically limit mosquito breeding around your property.
