At Lawn Doctor of Hillsborough-Mebane, our professional mosquito spraying helps Graham residents overcome these disruptive pests. We use our powerful insecticide to coat your yard and deliver a fatal blow to occupying mosquitoes. Our service will reduce their population, cut down on their breeding and provide a more peaceful and relaxing outdoor environment.
Along with our expert treatments, there are several DIY methods and products that can help. For example, skin repellents that contain DEET or picaridin can be very useful in reducing bites. These products are especially handy when you are away from home and in an untreated area, such as a park or a forest. If you would prefer a botanical option, lemon eucalyptus oil also works as a skin repellent.
To prevent mosquitoes around your home or business, the most important thing you can do is limit standing water. When water collects after a rainstorm, mosquitoes can take advantage by laying hundreds of eggs on a water source as small as a bottle cap. Allowing standing water to linger around your property is a recipe for a major mosquito infestation. Our experts help out by inspecting your property before each treatment and providing you with customized tips to reduce this issue.
Now that we’ve covered some tactics that will help, let’s turn our attention to those that will not. Take a look below at our list of mosquito remedies that fail to deliver on their promise.
Anti-Mosquito Products To Avoid
Smartphone Apps. These apps utilize the sounds of creatures that prey on mosquitoes in an attempt to scare them away. Unfortunately, mosquitoes are desperate enough for your blood that they don’t care if predators are around. These apps do not work at all.
Citronella Candles. All candles emit heat, moisture, and carbon dioxide, and this helps to lure mosquitoes away from your skin. The idea that citronella candles are somehow unique in this regard, is a complete myth. Instead of spending money on these products, you can just use any old candle you have around the house.
Protective Wristbands. These claim to work by spraying mosquito repellent from a band worn around your wrist. This will not protect you from mosquito bites, especially on parts of your body that are far away from your wrist.
