Your lawn is your haven during the outdoor season. Unfortunately, mosquitoes can crash it, posing a health hazard as they do from the diseases they carry. The good news is that by taking early steps, you can protect your lawn and keep these insects out. When you combine mosquito spraying from Lawn Doctor of Hillsborough-Mebane with a few simple measures, you’ll enjoy a full season of protection and peace of mind.
Why Early Mosquito Spraying Is Key
Mosquito season is here, and it can be hard to gain control during the height of summer. This is because as soon as conditions reach 50ºF consistently, hibernating insects become active and their eggs begin to hatch. Before you know it, they’re populating your lawn and biting your family.
In addition, as the heat continues to rise into summer, it contributes to the surge even further. Mosquitoes breed even more rapidly, leading to a vicious cycle if left unchecked. It’s why early action now is so important.
Besides spraying for mosquitoes, here are a few things you can do to keep them away:
- Drain standing water. Mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant water, inside anything from flower pot saucers to kiddie pools and watering cans. Remove or drain items that have collected water, including clogged gutters. Also, change the water weekly in any bird baths or water features you have on your property.
- Treat larger areas. If you have a pond or ditch with standing water, you can use mosquito control rings to wipe out eggs and larvae. These work by releasing a bacteria that is only toxic to mosquitoes, so it’s safe for the local environment.
- Keep your lawn neat. When your lawn is overgrown, it provides the shady, cool spots that adult mosquitoes prefer. This is where they land and spend their days, coming out at night. By cutting back bushes and shrubs and maintaining a well-trimmed lawn, you’ll make your lawn a less appealing place for them.
