How to Prevent Mosquitoes

While mosquitoes are difficult to eliminate, there are a few things you can do to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home. The best way to prevent mosquitoes is to eliminate their breeding sites. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so removing any standing water around your property is important. You should also make sure your gutters are clean and that water is not pooling in your yard.

To help reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home, you should also:

• Keep your lawn trimmed and your shrubs pruned
• Trim back any branches or shrubs that are touching your house
• Make sure your windows and doors have screens
• Use mosquito repellents when you are outside, especially during peak mosquito activity times, like dawn and dusk

While these tips can help reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home, they are not foolproof. If you are having a problem with mosquitoes, contact Adams Exterminating Company for professional mosquito control in Lewisville.
