Mosquito Control Is As Important As Ever
As essential business that understands it is our job to protect families from the spread of mosquito-borne disease, we agree that getting rid of mosquitoes must remain a priority for homeowners in Bahrain. As the weather warms up and the recommendation is to stay at home.
Let’s discuss how you can help get rid of mosquitoes this spring and summer.
Eliminate Standing Water
Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in water. By water, we mean streams, ponds, swamps, or even in the rainwater collected in a bucket.
Don’t Stop Mowing & Trimming
Mosquitoes avoid the warmest part of the day by resting in tall grass and dense overgrowth. If you’d like to make your yard less hospitable to these nuisance and disease spreading pests, you should mow often to keep the grass short – but not too short as you don’t want to kill it. It is also wise to clear out overgrowth that often grows in areas not often visited.
Add Plants That Keep Mosquitoes Away
While female mosquitoes require blood in order to reproduce, they must still seek out flowering plants that provide nectar – their food source. In order to repel mosquitoes with plants, you must be aware of what plants mosquitoes prefer to avoid. Here’s a basic list of plants that will keep mosquitoes away:
- Basil
- Garlic
- Lavender
- Catnip (be careful with this one, you may attract the neighbors’ cats)
- Lemon Balm
- Citronella
- Lemon Grass (if you’re pregnant or a new mom, please ask your doctor about this plant or avoid it all together)
- Marigold
- Peppermint
- Rosemary
- Sage
- Scented Geraniums
- Bee Balm (This plant will also attract bees which is not a bad thing but should be pointed out in case anyone in the household is allergic to bee stings)
