Mosquito Control Tips for Granbury Residents
To minimize your contact with pesky mosquitoes, there are a few simple changes you can make to your yard and your day-to-day life. These small changes aren’t as effective at keeping pests away as our comprehensive mosquito control treatments, but they will reduce your chances of being bitten. Here are three simple tricks to keep mosquitoes away:
1. Eliminate Standing Water Sources
Mosquitoes breed near standing water sources. Because of this, ponds, puddles, trash can lids full of water and other standing water sources act as an open invitation for mosquitoes to invade. Clear your lawn of these conditions after it rains to eliminate potential breeding grounds and help keep your lawn mosquito free.
2. Avoid Wearing Dark Colors
Mosquitoes have poor eyesight, and look for distinguishing features to pick objects (and targets) out from the scenery. Wearing dark colors during the daylight hours will help mosquitoes spot you, and will result in a higher chance of being targeted and bitten.
3. Schedule Around Dawn and Dusk
Dawn and dusk are the times during which mosquitoes are most active. Whether you’re going for a jog, taking the kids to the park or heading to the lake, try to avoid these high-activity times to minimize your contact with mosquitoes.
