Bite Back: How to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay This Summer
As temperatures rise this summer, mosquitoes are gearing up for increased activity across many regions. Warmer weather accelerates their life cycle, prompting higher reproduction rates and more frequent feeding behaviors, particularly by female mosquitoes needing blood for egg production. This surge in mosquito activity underscores the importance of being prepared.
Staying informed about local mosquito activity and ensuring mosquito control measures can help maintain a comfortable and safe outdoor environment throughout the summer months. Being prepared not only enhances personal comfort but also plays a critical role in safeguarding against health risks associated with mosquito-borne illnesses. Here at Alcon Services, we offer comprehensive solutions to prevent mosquitoes from swarming around your home during the summer months.
How To Keep Mosquitoes Away
There are several effective ways to prevent mosquitoes from bothering you and breeding around your home.
Remove Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so eliminate sources like flower pots, bird baths, clogged gutters, and any other containers that can collect water. Change water in pet bowls, birdbaths, and vases regularly.
Install Screens: Ensure windows and doors have screens without holes or tears to keep mosquitoes outside. Repair any damaged screens promptly.
Use Fans: Mosquitoes are not strong fliers and a breeze from a fan can help keep them away from you when you’re sitting outside.
Use Mosquito Nets: When sleeping outdoors or in areas with open windows, use mosquito nets over beds or around sleeping areas.
Natural Repellents: Plant mosquito-repelling plants such as citronella, lavender, marigolds, and basil around your home.
Professional Services: Consider professional mosquito control services that offer barrier treatments and ongoing mosquito management plans for effective, long-term control.
By implementing these preventive measures, you can significantly reduce mosquito populations around your home and enjoy a more comfortable outdoor environment.
