Enjoying summer can be tough when you have a mosquito problem. These biting pests can make it difficult to sit outside. They can also find their way into your home, making them even more of a nuisance. Learn more about how to stop these pests with mosquito control service and other measures.
Dump Standing Water
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant pools of water or other sources of standing water. You might have these in plastic or inflatable pools, pet bowls, birdbaths, tires, potted plants, and other objects that can hold water. Getting rid of stagnant water gives mosquitoes fewer places to lay their eggs and infest your yard.
Use Mosquito Repellent
Putting on a mosquito repellent with DEET can help keep these pests from approaching you when you’re outside. If you’ll be outdoors when mosquitoes are likely to be out, such as at dusk, apply repellent beforehand.
Cover Your Skin
Covering up your arms and legs instead of leaving them bare can help deter mosquitoes from biting you. If it’s too hot to do so, make sure you have repellent on when you’re out at dusk or dawn.
