Don’t let another season go by swatting away at annoying mosquitoes. Instead, this year, put the best products and treatments to use in your yard. However, with so many choices, which ones actually work and which are just hype? As mosquito spraying experts serving Landenberg, PA, Newark, DE, and nearby areas, we have the answers. Here’s what you need to know for a more comfortable season ahead.
- Do use an insect repellent. Whether you’re hanging out in your backyard or heading out for a hike, a product with DEET or Picaridin will provide you with protection for several hours. Another more natural remedy is a repellent with lemon eucalyptus oil. So, when you’re shopping around in the Landenberg PA area for a mosquito repellent to spray on, look for ones with these active ingredients.
- Do remove areas with stagnant water in your yard. An upturned bottle cap provides enough water for mosquitoes to breed in. That’s why removing standing water can go a long way in stopping an infestation. This includes cleaning out clogged gutters, refreshing water in your bird bath weekly, and emptying out kiddie pools, buckets, watering cans, and flower pot saucers.
- Don’t use apps or other devices that you wear. While these seem clever, they don’t work. Designed to emit a sound similar to dragonflies, a natural predator of mosquitoes, the idea is that these will scare away insects. However, when studied, they don’t provide protection.
- Don’t use wrist bands. Another popular, yet ineffective product are wrist bands made with insect repellents. These too have been tested and might protect your wrist, but not much else. Skip them in favor of a proven product.
