With expert mosquito spraying treatments from our crew, Lawn Doctor of The Woodlands-Magnolia-Tomball can provide superior protection for your home or business. While our professional support should be your primary source of protection from mosquitoes, you could also benefit from some additional DIY defense. With so many products available, we would like to help you avoid spending money on ineffective treatments. Here are some suggestions to get you started.
Anti-Mosquito Tactics To Avoid
When these pests are on the attack, you need protection you can truly rely on. Here are some ineffective products you should definitely avoid:
- Mosquito-Repelling Smartphone Apps. Many apps make incredible claims about repelling mosquitoes. While it would be very convenient if this were true, it is 100% false. There is no such technology, so do not believe any app that claims otherwise.
- Citronella Candles. People often rely on these candles to draw in mosquitoes and keep them away from their human targets. While they may provide some minimal protection, they do not accomplish anything that cannot be done by any ordinary candle.
- Protective Wristbands. These anti-mosquito wristbands emit sonic frequencies or mosquito repellents. They may offer some protection for the area in which they are worn but will not provide any defense for the rest of your body.
While the products outlined above offer no real protection, there are some methods we recommend. To protect your skin, utilize a chemical repellent that contains DEET or picaridin. If you would rather take a more natural route, you could use lemon eucalyptus oil. To reduce mosquitoes around your yard, consider adding mosquito traps in strategic locations.
Trusted Mosquito Spraying in the Magnolia Area
The most effective way to minimize long-term mosquito issues around your home or business is to reduce standing water. Mosquitoes are rapid breeders, and they require standing water to lay their eggs. Ignore this issue, and they will multiply by the thousands and completely overwhelm your property.
Before every spray treatment, we provide a detailed property inspection. This ensures we cut down on standing water and pinpoint potential problem areas. Our experts will also provide you with DIY tips to stop rainwater from collecting and get ahead of this issue. Once our search is complete, we will begin our treatment, destroying adult mosquitoes.
We are proud to deliver excellent mosquito protection throughout:
- Magnolia
- The Woodlands
- Spring
- Tomball
- Montgomery
- Pinehurst
- And the surrounding areas
