Our mosquito spraying service helps Little River residents reclaim their backyards and relax outdoors in peace. We deliver fast service at affordable rates backed up by our industry-leading guarantee.
While our expert treatments are a great way to protect your home, we can’t control mosquito issues out in the world. When venturing into the forest or local park, you’ll have to rely on DIY protection. With so many products out there, we’d like to share our guidance on which to use and which to avoid.
Anti-Mosquito Remedies: The Good and the Bad
The following ‘solutions’ will only serve to waste your time and money, so stay away:
- Mosquito-Repelling Smartphone Apps. While you may find a few apps in the app store making wild claims about their ability to repel mosquitoes, none of them actually work.
- Citronella Candles. A common home remedy to battle mosquitoes, recent studies have proven that they do nothing more than any ordinary candle.
- Protective Wristbands. A device that emits mosquito repellents and can be worn around your wrist. This product will only protect the area in which it is worn.
Here are some ways to actually protect your skin from those itchy mosquito bites:
- Chemical Repellents. Use any insect repellent with DEET or picaridin as the active ingredient. This will deter mosquitoes from biting your skin.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. This botanical alternative for skin protection is suggested by the CDC.
- Mosquito Traps. While these shouldn’t be your only source of home protection, they can definitely contribute to a reduced mosquito population.

These habitats are the exclusive nesting site for mosquito eggs, so removing them from your home can have a huge impact on future mosquito issues.
