For protection from mosquitoes when you’re away from home, there are some basic remedies we recommend. Skin repellents are particularly useful, especially when venturing into areas without professional mosquito control. Chemical repellents with DEET or picaridin are the most reliable option. For a botanical alternative, the CDC recommends lemon eucalyptus oil.
While these products can effectively deter mosquito bites, many options on the market make big claims but fail to deliver results. Below is our list of ineffective mosquito products that don’t live up to the hype.
Anti-Mosquito Products You Should Never Trust
Do not rely on these products to protect yourself or your home from mosquitoes:
- Mosquito-Repelling Smartphone Apps. You will find many apps that claim to deliver protection from mosquitoes by emitting dragonfly sounds from your phone. This is supposed to deter mosquitoes, as dragonflies are one of their natural predators. It would be a convenient solution if it worked, but testing has confirmed that these apps do nothing to stop mosquito attacks.
- Citronella Candles. All candles give off heat, carbon dioxide, and moisture. These elements will lure mosquitoes and draw them away from your skin. So, citronella candles can provide some level of protection. However, they offer no benefits that cannot be gained from any other candle. Their status as a specialized product to stop mosquitoes is a complete myth.
- Protective Wristbands. There are wristbands that use either insect repellent or sonic frequencies to scare off mosquitoes. These devices are vastly inferior to basic skin repellents, as they can only protect your wrist from mosquito bites.
Trusted Mosquito Spraying in the Spring Area
The most important advice we can give for lasting protection from mosquitoes is to reduce standing water. Since mosquitoes lay their eggs on water, it is essential to prevent rain and other water sources from collecting around your property. These pests can multiply very quickly, so our professionals will provide inspections around your yard with every spray treatment. Our goal is to remove nesting habitats and find potential problem areas where rain may collect.
With our detailed inspections and powerful spray treatments, we provide superior protection from mosquitoes for homes and businesses throughout:
- Spring
- Cypress
- Copperfield
- Windermere Lake
- And the surrounding areas
