Our goal is to help local residents enjoy the most effective protection from these pests. As part of that effort, we’d also like to share our tips for which products work to repel mosquitoes and which products do not live up to the hype. Here are our recommendations.
Anti-Mosquito Products: The Good and the Bad
When every minute outdoors involves swatting away at buzzing mosquitoes, you need solutions you can turn to for effective relief. Unfortunately, the following products will only leave you disappointed:
- Smartphone Apps. Plenty of apps claim to work by emitting sounds of dragonflies, which are natural predators of mosquitoes. This may seem like a decent idea, but it has been tested and simply does not work.
- Citronella Candles. While these special candles are known for their ability to lure mosquitoes, the fact is that they provide the exact same function as any other candle.
- Protective Wristbands. Mosquito-repelling wristbands function by releasing insect repellent from your wrist. This will not protect your body from mosquito bites but instead will simply draw mosquitoes away from your wrist.
Here are a few ways to protect your skin and contribute to your home defense:
- Chemical Skin Repellents. A great option to use when venturing into unknown areas. DEET and picaridin are the most common active ingredients, and these chemicals work very effectively to deter mosquito bites.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. While slightly less effective than the chemical repellents, you can use this oil as a botanical alternative. This is the only such option recommended by the CDC.
- Mosquito Traps. A wisely-placed trap will help destroy mosquitoes and provide your home with added protection.
Trusted Mosquito Spraying in the Jenison Area
A great way to reduce mosquito issues around your property, is to minimize water sources. Mosquitoes lay their eggs on bodies of standing water. These habitats can host a quick explosion in your home’s mosquito population if left unchecked. We offer detailed property screenings to find these areas, remove whatever we can and provide you with customized tips to limit the problem.
