There’s nothing more enjoyable than spending time outdoors during the warmer months, but pesky mosquitoes can quickly ruin the experience. These tiny, uninvited guests are more than just a nuisance; they can also carry harmful diseases like the West Nile virus. Thankfully, there are ways to safeguard your outdoor spaces and enjoy your backyard without swatting away bugs. Here’s how Adams Exterminating can help you reclaim your outdoor space from mosquitoes.
Effective Tips to Keep Mosquitoes Away
Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes need water to breed, so one of the most effective ways to reduce their presence is to eliminate standing water. Regularly check for and empty items like flowerpots, buckets, and birdbaths. Don’t forget to clear gutters and drainage systems that may collect rainwater.
Choose Mosquito-Repelling Plants
Add beauty and functionality to your outdoor space with plants that naturally repel mosquitoes. Lavender, citronella grass, marigolds, and basil are excellent additions to gardens, patios, or other outdoor areas. Their natural oils deter mosquitoes while enhancing the look of your space.
Upgrade Your Lighting
Mosquitoes are less attracted to yellow or warm LED lights than traditional bright white bulbs. Consider replacing outdoor lighting with mosquito-repellent options to minimize their activity near patios and porches.
Install Outdoor Fans
Mosquitoes are weak fliers, and a gentle outdoor breeze created by fans can make your patio less inviting to them. Plus, it’ll help keep you cool during the summer heat!
Use Mosquito Traps and Barriers
Mosquito traps, screens, and netting can help reduce their population in your space. For added protection, hire professionals to apply a mosquito barrier treatment tailored to your property’s needs.
