Mosquitos are one of life’s most annoying pests. They infest homes, gardens, and worse- they cause itchy bites and carry diseases like Zika and West Nile. They can terrorize your backyard celebrations, but thankfully, your best mosquito treatment this year happens to be right around the corner.
Noticing When It’s Getting Bad
If you’re noticing an uptick in the number of biting bugs in your yard, those are probably mosquitos. They’re typically about three to nine millimeters long, which is tiny . They have an arched body with only one set of wings and hang out near stagnant water. They also lay their eggs in this water- so if the birdbath is looking a bit craggy, chances are that it’s probably become a mosquito breeding ground. As previously mentioned, mosquitoes can carry anything from the West Nile Virus to Zika, and it’s hard to tell which ones are infected and which aren’t. Frankly, it’s safer for you, your family, and your neighborhood if you just try to get rid of mosquitos entirely.
Mosquito Yard Treatment
If you hope to learn how to control mosquitos , you’ve come to the right place. Its’ simple, and you’ve got two options. The DIY option involves cleaning up any standing puddles in the yard, where mosquitos happen to lay their eggs, and sealing any cracks or holes in your windows, doors, siding, or foundation. You can also use weather-proofing screens on your doors and windows for an added layer of protection, and stay inside after the sun has set- after all, that’s a mosquito’s favorite time to feed. Light-colored clothing, like pastels or khaki , can also reduce the risk of being bitten by one of these tiny pests. Unfortunately, these simple DIY tips sometimes aren’t all it takes to eliminate mosquitoes from your yard. Instead, you need a backyard solution that will keep them out.
