Mosquitoes are incredibly resilient, and many products and methods are available to help keep them away. Many approaches available in Reston, VA, and nearby areas provide excellent protection, from mosquito spraying to the right repellent and even a simple fan.
Yet, some products advertise protection but don’t deliver. To help you avoid these, here are some tips for a better, buzz-free summer:
- Look for a spray repellent with DEET, Picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus oil. These three active ingredients have been evaluated extensively and shown to work. They provide protection for several hours before re-application is needed.
- Consider using a fan. A simple fan can actually work wonders when it comes to mosquitoes. These notoriously weak fliers won’t be able to make their way to you with one nearby. The fan also works to clear out carbon dioxide that you breathe out, which attracts mosquitoes in the first place.
- Avoid apps, sonic devices, and wristbands. While these all sound good in theory, they fail to provide meaningful protection when tested. So, it’s best to avoid them altogether and use the products and treatments that actually do work.
- Find and drain standing water. If you have a lot of mosquitoes, it could be due to standing water in your yard. From kiddie pools to grill covers and tarps to flower pots, any type of container that can accumulate water provides the perfect place for mosquitoes to breed.
