Having mosquitoes buzzing around your yard when you’re trying to sit outside can easily ruin your summer evenings. Since these pests can give you West Nile virus or other diseases, it’s important to control them. In addition to hiring Brielle mosquito control services, you can take the following steps to prevent infestations in your yard.
Get Rid of Standing Water
Mosquitoes prefer to breed in standing water, so it’s a good idea to eliminate these potential breeding grounds. You might have standing water in bird baths or planters. If you keep pet dishes with water outside, dump them out when your pets are inside. Getting rid of standing water helps lower the risk of having mosquitoes breed in your backyard, which can lead to a large infestation.
Repair Door and Window Screens
If you like to keep your back door and windows open to let in fresh air during summer, check them first. Repair any holes or rips in screens that could let mosquitoes inside your home. If you have an infestation in your yard, these pests can quickly invade your house as well. Replace any door or window screens that are in poor condition.
