Here are some tips from our Toms River-area mosquito control team:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear\u00a0light-colored clothing since mosquitoes can better see and are therefore more attracted to darker colors.<\/li>\n<li>Choose tightly woven\u00a0fabrics, like synthetics, over cotton and linen, which are more porous and offer greater opportunity for mosquitoes to get through\u00a0and bite.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t go outside during peak mosquito activity. Mosquitoes tend to be on the prowl for food during dawn and dusk.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid wearing fragrances outside. In addition to human body odors, mosquitoes are also enticed by perfumes and colognes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond protecting your personal space from mosquitoes, there are also several steps you can take to control mosquitoes and\u00a0cut down on numbers in your Toms River-area yard. For instance, mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so those watering cans, kiddie pools, toys, bird baths, and loose tarps provide a prime area for mosquitoes to nest, multiply\u00a0and populate your lawn. Mosquitoes also like dark, wet areas, like wood and leaf piles. So clean up these areas of your lawn, as well.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get Professional\u00a0Mosquito Control Help in the Toms River Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let pesky mosquitoes stop you from enjoying the beautiful Jersey Shore summer.
