Effective Mosquito Control for Clayton Homeowners
There are a few everyday things you can do, avoid and keep fresh in your mind to limit mosquito interaction. Here are a few quick guidelines on reducing your chances of being bitten the next time you go outside:
1. Tidy Up Your Lawn
Messy lawns provide a safe haven for mosquitoes. Leaf litter and shady areas provide shelter, while underbrush and sources of standing water provide breeding grounds for these pests to grow their numbers. Simply cleaning up your lawn will go a long way towards keeping your lawn mosquito-free.
2. Avoid Dark Clothing
Mosquitoes have poor eyesight, so instead of noticing intricate details to determine their targets, they simply swarm towards areas of high contrast. When you wear dark colors, you set yourself apart from the environment and identify yourself as a potential target to any mosquitoes headed your way. Wearing lighter or neutral colors will help you decrease your visibility and reduce your chances of being bitten.
3. Schedule Outdoor Activities Around Dawn and Dusk
Mosquito activity reaches its height during the dawn and dusk hours. If you’re planning your daily dog walk, a picnic or heading out for a jog, scheduling around the dawn and dusk hours can keep you from encountering a swarm.
