Mosquitoes are some of the most invasive pests that can show up in your yard. If these irritating insects are left unaddressed, they can quickly take over your home’s outdoor spaces. This is an issue because of the harmful diseases mosquitoes can carry and their ability to give your pets heartworm. To effectively fight these pests, it’s helpful to know a little bit about them. Below, we’ll go through some mosquito basics and how our proven mosquito control protects Barrington yards from these pests.
Mosquito Control 101
To fight mosquitoes, it pays to know what attracts them and where they like to hide. Let’s take a look at some mosquito basics:
What Attracts Mosquitoes
Knowing what mosquitoes are attracted to can help you avoid them and make your home’s outdoor spaces less welcoming to them. When searching for their next meal, mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and body heat. The larger the signatures of carbon dioxide and body heat, the more attracted mosquitoes are, which is why they generally target larger prey. Mosquitoes are also attracted to darker clothing, as it mimics the fur of the animals they typically feed on.
Mosquito Hotspots
When looking for a place to take up residence, mosquitoes generally look for areas with standing water or dense greenery. Standing water provides mosquitoes a place to lay their eggs, and areas with thick vegetation give them the cover they need to shelter from the sun. Reducing these factors on your property by draining standing water and cutting back dense greenery can help you keep mosquito numbers lower from season to season.
