The last thing you want over summer is a lawn filled with mosquitoes. Once you have an infestation, it takes more drastic steps to get under control. With early measures, however, you can regain the upper hand and make your lawn less inviting to these insects. By combining mosquito spraying from Lawn Doctor of Strongsville-Stow with a few common sense steps, you’ll see far fewer insects and enjoy a quieter summer, as a result.
Why Early Mosquito Spraying Is Key
If mosquitoes aren’t treated in your yard, some species will hibernate over winter, with others even laying eggs in freezing water. These hatch once spring arrives. As the temperatures are around 50°F routinely, mosquitoes become active, surging across your lawn thanks to the warm, wet conditions of spring.
They breed even faster as temperatures heat up during summer. As a result, if left unchecked, mosquitoes will propagate and populate in your lawn, making you and your family their next meal. Just when you’re trying to enjoy time outside, these insects will be on the prowl. The good news? Taking a few simple measures now can go a long way in reducing numbers during the height of summer.
One of the best ways to control mosquitoes, besides early spraying from Lawn Doctor of Strongsville-Stow, is to remove or drain standing water. Any areas or items that are collecting water offer a prime place for mosquitoes to breed. Emptying saucers under flower pots, draining kiddie pools, dumping out buckets and wheelbarrows, and cleaning off old tarps will go a long way in getting rid of breeding grounds.
In addition, make sure your gutters aren’t clogged and clean them out if they are. Check your bird baths and refresh the water on a weekly basis to ensure eggs and larvae don’t survive and mature. Finally, if you have a pond or ditch, use mosquito control rings (dunks) to treat developing mosquitoes. These work by dissolving and releasing a bacteria that is only toxic to mosquitoes.
