Sick of annoying and aggressive mosquitoes? Sadly, they’re incredibly resilient creatures, and there isn’t one way to get 100% control. While many products offer excellent protection from mosquitoes, there are just as many that don’t. So how can you tell the difference? Lawn Doctor of Oyster Bay-Syosset has the answer. Beyond mosquito spraying from our team, serving Glen Head, Oyster Bay, and surrounding areas in NY, some methods that work include:
- Spraying on repellent. Look for a mosquito repellent you can spray on made with DEET, Picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus oil. These three active ingredients have been tested and proven to offer protection.
- Using a fan. Mosquitoes aren’t strong fliers, so a fan can keep them away, making it harder for them to navigate their way toward you. It also helps clear out the carbon dioxide released when you breathe, which attracts mosquitoes.
- Draining standing water. Standing water is the ideal environment for mosquitoes to breed. So, clear out clogged gutters, drain containers, and refresh the water in bird baths weekly.
While these methods are a good way to avoid pesky mosquitoes, smartphone apps and ultrasonic devices are not. These are designed to create a sound similar to the dragonfly, which preys on mosquitoes. The theory is the sound will scare mosquitoes away. Unfortunately, when studied, there’s no proof they work.
Another popular method that doesn’t really work? Wristbands. These are made with a repellent built-in and are supposed to deter mosquitoes. They might protect your wrist from a bite, but not much else.
