Are you tired of spending time outside swatting away mosquitoes? Sick of itchy bites? There are different methods for keeping these insects in check. However, there are also ones on store shelves that don’t work as advertised. How can you tell the difference? Lawn Doctor of Kingston, Poughkeepsie & Hudson can help. As a leading mosquito spraying team, serving Columbia, Kingston, and nearby areas in NY, we know what works and what’s just hype. Here’s a look.
- Eliminate stagnant water. When you’re looking to reduce mosquitoes in your yard, your first step should be to eliminate areas with standing water. Even a little puddle provides enough for females to lay eggs. So too do kiddie pools, bird baths, clogged gutters, cans, and containers.
- Place a fan on your patio or porch. Another way to cut down on mosquito bites is with a fan. These insects tend to be weak fliers, so they’ll have a harder time navigating their way to you when there’s a fan nearby. This also works to clear out the carbon dioxide that you’re breathing out, which is attracting mosquitoes.
- Use a repellent with the right active ingredient. With so many products on store shelves in the Columbia area, it’s hard to know what to use when it comes to mosquito spraying. Focus on those with DEET, Picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus oil as the active ingredients. These have been tested widely and proven to provide several hours of protection.
- Skip the gadgets and apps. Unfortunately, the sonic devices and smartphone apps on the market today don’t provide protection. They’re supposed to scare off mosquitoes with a sound that’s similar to a dragonfly, which preys on mosquitoes. In tests, though, they’re not effective.
