Mosquito Control and Prevention Tips
Hiring a professional to handle mosquito prevention is always a good idea. Still, there are a few things you can do to help control the pesky creatures and keep them at bay.
Reduce Moisture
Mosquitoes love moisture, so reducing the amount of it and access they have to it can keep them away from your home. You’ll want to fix leaks, ensure the hoses are turned off.
Be sure to check that all rainwater is draining properly and not becoming stagnant on your property.
Make Hiding Places Less Inviting
Like other pests, mosquitoes hide at certain times of the day. Mosquitoes like to hide in the shade to avoid the sunlight. They’ll look for areas in your vegetation and anywhere that can provide them protection.
You can make these areas less inviting by planting vegetation that mosquitoes dislike, such as rosemary, catnip, and citronella grass.
Leaf Clean Up
Raking leaves can be a tedious task, but it’s not something you’ll want to put off. When leaves accumulate on your property, vernal pools can form and attract larger amounts of mosquitoes. Always rake and bag your leaves and get them off your property as soon as possible.
