Memorial Day weekend is a great time to head outdoors, especially if the weather’s pleasant. When you’re sitting outside in the evening, though, mosquitoes might ruin your fun. Find out how to protect yourself from these pests with NJ mosquito control service and some DIY steps.
Wear Long Sleeves and Pants
Areas of exposed skin are prime targets for mosquito bites. Wearing a jacket or long-sleeved shirt and long pants covers these areas up, so you’re less likely to be bitten.
Use Mosquito Repellent
Wearing mosquito repellent can help deter these pests from going near you. Apply this product before heading outside when mosquitoes are around.
Turn on a Fan
A portable fan can create a breeze that keeps mosquitoes away from you while you’re sitting outside. If possible, use an oscillating fan that moves air around your porch or sitting area.
Toss Standing Water
If you have a plastic or inflatable pool, flower pots, birdbaths, or other items that hold water, empty them. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in water, which can lead to a large infestation. Eliminating standing water reduces potential sites for them to lay eggs.
Use Professional Mosquito Control
Mosquito control service involves having your property treated for mosquitoes to reduce the risk of infestations. This is a good way to stop mosquitoes from invading your yard in the first place.
