Tired of itchy bites? Annoyed by the buzzing when you step outside? There are several ways to keep these insects in check. Yet, there are also methods that don’t work as advertised. How can you tell the difference? Lawn Doctor of Haverford Township-Lansdale-Boyertown-Tredyffrin has the answers. As a leading mosquito spraying service in Frazer, Wayne, and nearby areas in PA, we know how to restore peace and comfort to your yard. Here’s what to do and what to avoid.
- Eliminate sources of standing water. Females lay eggs in standing water, so eliminating areas with it will make your lawn less of a breeding site. Even a tiny puddle offers enough water for mosquitoes to propagate.
- Clear out your gutters. Clogged gutters provide another spot for mosquitoes to breed and nest in. Make sure your gutters are cleaned out and all the sticks, leaves, debris, and standing water are removed.
- Use a fan. Mosquitoes tend to be weak fliers, so if you have a fan nearby outside, plug it in. This also helps to clear out carbon dioxide and body odors, which are how mosquitoes find you.
- Spray yourself. Use a product with an active ingredient, like DEET or Picaridin. These have been tested and proven to deliver several hours of protection.
Some products to avoid include those like sonic devices and smartphone apps. They are supposed to work by sending out a sound that is similar to the dragonfly, which is a natural mosquito predator. Yet, when tested, they don’t do much to scare off mosquitoes.
Another popular product that doesn’t work well? Wrist bands. These contain insect repellents and are advertised to keep mosquitoes away without having to spray your clothing or body. Unfortunately, these too miss the mark when it comes to protection.
