The time you spend outside should be fun, not frustrating. If, however, mosquitoes are sucking the enjoyment from outdoor dinners and games of tag, you gain the upper hand with a few steps. By taking early action, combined with mosquito spraying from our Lawn Doctor of Winter Haven-Lakeland team, you can stop pests from making a meal out of you and your family when you’re outside. You’ll have more comfort and quiet in the months ahead, as a result.
Why Early Mosquito Spraying Is Key
Even when temperatures drop, mosquitoes can remain alive. In fact, there are certain kinds that go into hibernation, re-emerging once temperatures are right. Other kinds lay eggs in cold water to preserve them, then die off afterward. As spring conditions arrive and the weather turns warmer, these eggs hatch and become active. That’s why mosquito numbers grow so fast.
Mosquitoes continue to breed even faster into summer as temperatures increase. This can not only trigger an infestation in your lawn, but pose a threat to your family and pets, due to the diseases they transmit, from Zika to West Nile.
That’s where Lawn Doctor of Winter Haven-Lakeland can help. With our mosquito spraying services, not only will we suppress adults, but target eggs and larvae. However, to get the best results, it’s important for customers to take a few key measures, as well, including:
- Removing standing water, which is where mosquitoes breed. Anything from buckets and tarps to kiddie pools and saucers under flower pots offer prime grounds for breeding.
- Keep your lawn well-maintained, since mosquitoes like cool, shady areas. Cut back shrubs and bushes, remove brush and leaf litter, and keep your lawn routinely mowed.
- Use a mosquito control ring for areas like ponds and ditches. These work by releasing a specific kind of bacteria that doesn’t harm the local environment, but is toxic to mosquitoes.
