With our mosquito spraying services, Lawn Doctor of Edmond-OKC delivers consistent protection from mosquitoes for homes and businesses in the Bethany, OK area. We know how annoying and disruptive these pests can be, so we always work hard to reduce adult populations and remove their breeding habitats. Our treatments efficiently destroy mosquitoes to create a stress-free outdoor space.
To protect yourself from itchy bites when venturing away from home, we recommend using insect repellents. Chemical repellents with the active ingredients DEET or picaridin work best. If you prefer a more natural option, lemon eucalyptus oil works is an excellent choice.
These products can be a very effective tool in your defense against mosquitoes. However, the same cannot be said for many other products on the market. To help you navigate all the misinformation, let’s look at a few products that definitely do not work.
Anti-Mosquito Products To Avoid
When you’re in the presence of mosquitoes, you can’t afford to rely on ineffective remedies. Here is our list of ‘solutions’ that simply do not live up to the hype:
- Mosquito-Repelling Smartphone Apps. These apps utilize dragonfly sounds emitted from your phone. The idea is that since dragonflies are a natural predator of mosquitoes, the noises will keep mosquitoes away from your skin. This is a very interesting concept, but it simply does not work.
- Citronella Candles. Like every other candle, these candles will lure mosquitoes with the heat, moisture, and carbon dioxide they emit. There is nothing special at all about citronella candles in this regard.
- Protective Wristbands. Anti-mosquito wristbands emit sonic frequencies or repellents. This may keep mosquitoes away from your wrist but offer no protection for the rest of your body.
