With our professional mosquito spraying, Lawn Doctor of Sandusky-Fremont & Elyria-Amherst delivers the powerful treatments you need to overcome mosquito issues. To help you enjoy even better protection from mosquitoes, we’d also like to provide insight into potential DIY remedies. While many products out there claim to help deter mosquitoes, many of them do not work. Let’s take a look at some products to avoid.
Anti-Mosquito Tactics To Avoid
When you are constantly dealing with mosquito bites every time you step out your front door, you can’t afford to waste time and energy on tactics that do not work. Avoid these ineffective DIY ‘solutions’:
- Mosquito-Repelling Smartphone Apps. There is no mobile phone app with the ability to repel mosquitoes. You may find many options in the app store that make these claims, but this is 100% false, so steer clear.
- Citronella Candles. It is a common myth that these specific candles provide protection from mosquitoes. The truth is, they offer no more protection than any regular candle.
- Protective Wristbands. Bands that wrap around your wrist and give off mosquito repellent can work decently at repelling mosquitoes away from your wrist. They will not provide any defense for the rest of your body.
While there are plenty of anti-mosquito tactics that offer no real protection, there are still a few worth utilizing. We recommend using a skin repellent with DEET or picaridin when away from home in an area heavily infested with mosquitoes. You could also use lemon eucalyptus oil as a botanical alternative. For home defense, well-placed mosquito traps can certainly help to reduce mosquito populations.
Trusted Mosquito Spraying in the Fremont Area
The first step to reducing mosquito activity around your property is removing standing water. Mosquitoes can lay hundreds of eggs at a time, and they need standing water to do so. By depriving them of their only breeding habitat, you can cut down on future generations and make your life a lot easier. We provide expert service to inspect your property, cut down on these areas and provide you with DIY tips to reduce them going forward.
Once our property inspection is finished, we will apply our powerful spray treatment to your yard and begin destroying any occupying mosquitoes. Our dynamic approach will reduce mosquitoes and create a more peaceful outdoor space. We offer our services throughout:
