If you have, it could be due to a number of factors. For instance, as leading mosquito control experts in the\u00a0Lower Merion, PA area, we know that how\u00a0active you are, your blood type and beer consumption are all variables that come into play with mosquitoes. Mosquitoes love movement, gravitate toward those with Type O blood, and are more likely to bite when you&#8217;re drinking beer.\u00a0Likewise, if you&#8217;re pregnant or overweight\u00a0this can increase your carbon dioxide production, which also attracts mosquitoes.<\/p>\n<p>The question is: How do you keep them away? While there&#8217;s no surefire approach, there are some tips Lower Merion-area residents\u00a0can put to use for mosquito\u00a0control\u00a0and reduce bites. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wearing light-colored clothing. <\/strong>Mosquitoes have field vision, not acute vision, which means they see stark images better. If it&#8217;s bright outside and you&#8217;re wearing dark colors, they&#8217;ll notice you first. Instead, blend in with lighter color choices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choosing tightly woven fabrics.<\/strong> In addition to color, fabric type is also important. The tighter the weave, the greater the protection against\u00a0mosquitoes. For instance,\u00a0synthetic and athletic fabrics are better choices than cotton and mesh.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Staying inside during dawn and dusk. <\/strong>These are the times of day when mosquitoes are most active and therefore more likely to bite. It&#8217;s best, therefore, to remain inside if possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Using repellent.<\/strong> If you are outside, or engaged in activities where you&#8217;re more exposed to mosquitoes, such as camping and hiking, then wear insect repellent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Tips for\u00a0Mosquito Control in Your\u00a0Lower Merion-Area Lawn<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the tips above, there are many steps you can take in your lawn to keep mosquitoes away this summer. As mosquito control experts,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Lower Merion, Brandywine and Garnet Valley knows one\u00a0of the most effective is by getting rid of standing water. For instance, upright watering cans and wheelbarrows, kiddie pool, bird baths, lawn equipment covered in loose tarp, and flower pots\u00a0are prime places for water to collect, sit and attract mosquitoes. By eliminating these areas, you&#8217;re going a long way in cutting down on populations in your lawn.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to reduce mosquito numbers\u00a0involves getting rid of old leaves, grass clippings, and wood piles. Insects also like to hide in tall grasses and overgrown shrubs, so cut these back, too.<\/p>\n<p>If mosquitoes are still a problem, consider hiring a professional mosquito control team.
