Effective Mosquito Control: Things to Avoid
Part of minimizing your contact with mosquitoes is understanding their behaviors and what they’re attracted to. Here are three simple things to avoid to reduce your chances of being bitten by these pests:
1. Outdoor Activities at Dawn or Dusk
Avoiding prolonged outdoor activities at dawn or dusk will go a long way towards preventing arms and legs full of itchy mosquito bites. These are the times where mosquitoes are the most active, and being outdoors at these times can make you a target.
2. Wearing Dark Colors
Mosquitoes often pick out targets that are sharply contrasted to the background due to their poor eyesight. When you wear dark colors outdoors, you set yourself apart from the background and increase your chances of being spotted by any hungry mosquitoes hovering around.
3. A Messy Lawn
Messy lawns provide breeding grounds and safe havens for incoming populations of mosquitoes. Sources of standing water, leaf litter and unkempt underbrush are a paradise for mosquitoes, and keeping your lawn tidy and clear of these conditions is a major step towards keeping your lawn clear of them.
