\"mosquitoAccording to the World Health Organization, the mosquito is the most lethal animal in the world, spreading the likes of encephalitis, meningitis,\u00a0and\u00a0Zika and West Nile virus. What’s more is that it’s not just people who are impacted, but pets, too. In fact, mosquitoes\u00a0can spread heartworm to the four-legged friends you love. So what can you do to protect your property and your family? As local mosquito control experts serving the\u00a0Greensboro, NC community,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Greensboro has the answers you need. Here’s a look:<\/p>\n

Remove or empty\u00a0items in your yard that collect water. <\/strong>At\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Greensboro, we know this is one of the most\u00a0effective ways to control mosquitoes and cut down dramatically on populations. Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing or slow-moving water, so any locations on your property that collect\u00a0moisture must be emptied or removed. These include bird baths, toys, lawn equipment, old tires, pots and vases, and trash cans.<\/p>\n

Clean out gutters.<\/strong> Once you’ve cleaned up your yard, look to your home for any areas that are inviting to mosquitoes. Clogged gutters are a common one. When leaves, twigs and other debris plug them up, water then collects, sits, and attracts mosquitoes.<\/p>\n

Even out low-lying areas in your lawn.<\/strong> Other areas that are easy to forget about are low-lying depressions in your lawn. Mosquitoes only require about an inch of water to lay eggs in, so fill these spots with sod\u00a0or dirt to prevent\u00a0water from pooling and sitting.<\/p>\n

Maintain your yard.<\/strong> As local mosquito control experts,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Greensboro knows if\u00a0you have areas in your yard that are overgrown, you’re providing a place for them\u00a0to take shelter and hide in. They primarily like shady areas. To get rid of these,\u00a0trim back the low foliage on trees and shrubs, and keep your grass well-maintained.<\/p>\n

In addition to the tips above, there are a few other steps you can take for mosquito\u00a0control\u00a0and minimizing\u00a0the number of\u00a0bites you get during Greensboro’s outdoor\u00a0season. For instance, you’re a bigger mosquito target when wearing dark or bright colors. That’s because mosquitoes can\u00a0see you better. Instead, wear lighter colors when you’re outside, so you’re harder to spot. Also, avoid being outside during dawn and dusk. This is when most mosquito species are on the hunt for food, meaning they’ll be more active and more likely to attack you.<\/p>\n
