Making the Most of Your Spray
It's general knowledge that mosquitoes like warm weather and water, therefore their habitats are often thought to be southern and coastal. Other mosquito-prone locations know this is not true. Mosquitoes don't stay in Texas or Florida. They appear annually in snowy Michigan, Oklahoma fields, and Arizona deserts. Mosquito control matters everywhere.
The best solution for keeping mosquitoes out of your yard is to call in an expert, like 24/7 Local Pest Control, who specializes in mosquito elimination services. But if you’re not ready to make that move just yet, we want to arm you with some key tips to make sure you aren’t hosting places mosquitoes love to hang out in your yard. Whether you’re looking to get the most out of a mosquito treatment program you’re already on or you’re just starting your mosquito combat education, these tips will help you battle the blood-thirsty pests flying around your yard:
- Mosquitos breed in standing water, so regularly empty ponds, bird baths, fountains, plant pots, buckets, barrels, tarps, kids toys, pet water dishes or anywhere else that water may gather.
- Clean out gutters to avoid standing water – examine them for clots and damage that would cause water to collect.
- Drill holes in tire swings, trash cans or recycle bins so water drains out.
- Use soil to fill in low areas in lawns and landscaped areas where rainwater may collect and stand for more than seven days.
- Keep swimming pools clean, properly circulated and filtered. Keep children’s wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren’t being used.
- Repair leaky outdoor faucets.
- Cut grass and shrubs short, as adult mosquitoes gather to rest in shady, cool areas. Keep your yard weed-free and avoid overgrown vegetation.
