Spring is here and with it comes outdoor parties, picnics – and pests. If you’d like to stop mosquitoes from crashing your time outside, now’s the time to act. By taking a few early steps and using a professional service, like Lawn Doctor of Mandeville & Covington for mosquito spraying, you can keep unwanted insects out of your lawn and away from your loved ones. Meanwhile, when you step outdoors, you can enjoy a quieter, more comfortable yard.
Why Early Mosquito Spraying Is Key
When winter hits, mosquitoes don’t die. Rather, some species hibernate, laying eggs before they do. When spring arrives and conditions are right, these hatch and become active mosquitoes. In addition, during the Covington area’s spring, mosquitoes tend to thrive in warm, wet conditions and lay even more eggs, causing infestations without spraying and taking other measures. As the season continues and the weather heats up, mosquitoes breed even faster, populating your lawn.
To avoid this, your first move should be to remove any areas with standing water on your property or drain them. Any items from old buckets and tarps behind your shed to flower pots, kiddie pools, bird baths, and clogged gutters can offer prime conditions for mosquitoes to breed in.
Another step is to change the lighting around your home from white bulbs to yellow. These aren’t as visible to mosquitoes, so when you’re outdoors during the evening or at night, they will have a harder time finding and biting you.
In addition, prune back overgrown shrubs and bushes, as well as tall grasses. Mosquitoes like cool, shady areas and these provide the ideal spot for them to make a home during the day. When you cut them back, you’ll remove the spaces where they like to hide.
