Our licensed technicians are ready to reduce your adult mosquito population and prevent future breeding. In addition to our comprehensive treatments, we are always eager to offer advice and guidance for additional protection. To help you avoid wasting money and relying on methods that don’t work, let’s take a look at some DIY tactics to avoid.
Anti-Mosquito Tactics Avoid
Mosquito issues can be incredibly annoying. The last thing you need is to spend money on products that don’t work. Here is our list of anti-mosquito items that don’t live up to their claims:
- Smartphone Apps. There are many apps that exist and claim to protect you from mosquitoes. None of them work, so don’t fall for the hype.
- Citronella Candles. These have been a very popular DIY remedy for years. A recent study has shown that they do not offer any more protection than a typical candle, so there’s no need to spend money on this specific item.
- Wristbands. Yes, there are mosquito wristbands that emit insect repellents. While they work quite well at repelling mosquitoes away from your wrist, they offer no protection for the rest of your body.
Trusted Mosquito Spraying in the Somerset Area
While we cannot recommend any of the DIY treatments listed above, there are certainly ways you can supplement our expert service and improve the situation. Skin repellents that contain DEET, picaridin, or even lemon eucalyptus oil will reduce bites. Also, mosquito traps can be very effective when placed in a high-volume area.
The most important way to improve the situation is to reduce standing water throughout your property. Mosquitoes rely on standing water to lay their eggs, so it’s crucial to deprive them of this opportunity. We are eager to help by providing property inspections and DIY tips with each visit.
After this part of our service is complete, our technicians will spray the area and quickly reduce the adult mosquito population. With this dynamic approach, we are able to produce incredible results in a short timeframe and for a reasonable cost. Our service area covers Somerset and the communities of the Southcoast as well as most of Rhode Island.
