Protect Yourself and Family From Mosquitoes
Sprays and other mosquito deterrent products are a must. As a preventative measure, this will help protect yourself and your family from any mosquitoes that still show up unwelcome around your home. These products can be found in the form of sprays, outdoor candles, zappers, etc. With sprays and citronella candles being the least expensive options, these are an easy preventative solution to get rid of mosquitoes. All of these options should be paired with additional efforts for the best results.
How to Identify Mosquito Nesting Sites
Getting rid of mosquitoes starts with learning how they arrived and where they thrive. Mosquitoes peak season is during warmer months and they are attracted to areas with dense foliage and water.
- Identify areas on the lawn that can hold standing water. Areas in the lawn or around the home with drainage issues can become a breeding site for mosquitoes.
- Toys, planters and other containers that can hold water are also welcoming to mosquitoes. Make sure to empty these regularly, remove them, or turn them over before a rain.
