Effective Mosquito Control: Common Attractions
Whether you’re dealing with a mosquito infestation in your lawn, or you’re simply tired of cutting your daily jog short on account of becoming dinner to resident mosquito populations, having knowledge of these pests’ common attractions will help you more effectively avoid them. Here are three common mosquito attractions:
1. Dark Clothing
Due to their poor eyesight, mosquitoes are attracted to sharp contrast. Wearing dark colors while outdoors will make you stand out from the environment, thus making you an easier target for neighborhood mosquitoes. Neutrals and lighter colors will help you blend into your background and help to decrease your chances of being bitten.
2. Dawn & Dusk
The hours surrounding dawn and dusk are when mosquitoes are the most active, and therefore, the times when you are at a greater risk of encountering a swarm. Scheduling outdoor activities around these hours can go a long way in sparing your arms and legs from itchy bites.
3. Standing Water & Underbrush
Standing water, leaf litter and underbrush provide shelter and breeding grounds to mosquitoes. Ponds, damp wooded areas and even trash can lids and leaf litter after a storm can be paradise to mosquitoes. Avoiding and clearing your own lawn of these conditions can help you significantly cut down on your mosquito exposure.
