Solutions to Have a Mosquito-Free Yard This season

1. Be aware of standing water
Standing water of any depth – whether it be the half-inch at the bottom of a planter or perhaps the six inches stagnating inside your wheelbarrow – is undoubtedly an invitation for mosquito’s (they require water to breed). Be careful not to over-water your lawn as well as refresh water containers, like dog bowls, often.

2. That includes your gutters
Ensure that your gutters are clean and water drains freely. Otherwise, you are the proprietor of a very long singles bar for mosquito’s.

3. Switch your bulbs
In certain areas of the united states, depending on the type of mosquito’s, swapping out the bulbs you use in your outdoor lights for yellow bug bulbs can mean fewer insects swarming the lights.

4. Trim away
Mosquito’s prefer to hang out in the shade and feast on plant nectar. Keep the lawn short and hack down heavy vegetation near your patio and house to help make your property less appealing.

5. Blast the buggers
Mosquito’s aren’t powerful fliers. Strategically placed fans around your deck can blow them away, and a ceiling fan above your covered porch can help too.

6. Hang a net
When done properly, mosquito netting can drape your patio or outdoor eating area in elegance and keep the bugs at bay.

7. Light candles
Citronella candles, lamps and coils can certainly help repel mosquito’s.

8. Bring in the big guns
Work with a professional pest control company who can install misters to operate all season, or spray your yard once for a special occasion.
