But what attracts them to humans can vary greatly. What&#8217;s more is that there are thousands of different mosquito species, each enticed by differing variables. However, as local mosquito control experts serving the\u00a0Fairfield County, CT and Westchester County, NY areas, we know a few of the most common are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Our body heat.<\/strong> Mosquitoes have advanced heat sensors, which means that body heat is one of the biggest attractants to them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The scent we emit. <\/strong>Whether it&#8217;s sweat or another natural skin secretion, mosquitoes are stimulated by\u00a0many different skin compounds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The air we exhale. <\/strong>Mosquitoes detect humans by the\u00a0carbon dioxide we exhale. And the more\u00a0you breathe out, the bigger the target you are. That&#8217;s\u00a0why adults are more likely to get bitten than children, as are those who are pregnant or overweight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the ones above, there are many other factors that drive mosquitoes to attack and make them hard to control in and around the Fairfield County area. These include blood type, beer consumption, and high levels of activity.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mosquito Control Tips for Fairfield County Homeowners<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let rising mosquito populations detract from your outdoor fun and enjoyment.\u00a0As mosquito control experts,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Fairfield County and Westchester County knows there are steps you can take in your lawn to minimize populations and cut down on risk factors. For instance, make sure you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get rid of standing water on and around your property where mosquitoes like to breed. These include spots like kids&#8217; pools and toys, bird baths, and loose tarps covering wood piles and grills. Keep in mind mosquitoes only need about an inch of water to lay eggs.<\/li>\n<li>Cut back on overgrown trees and shrubs, which offer\u00a0shelter for mosquito populations.<\/li>\n<li>Wear repellent when you&#8217;re outside in Fairfield County or Westchester County during the hours of dawn and dusk\u00a0for mosquito control\u00a0when they&#8217;re\u00a0most actively searching for food.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid bright and dark colors, which can make you easier to spot by mosquitoes.<\/li>\n<li>Place plants that act as deterrents to mosquitoes around your deck or patio. These include rosemary, lavender, catnip, and marigold, among many others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-qtag-num=\"Q50774451\"><strong>Want professional help with mosquito control?
