Top 5 Ways to Prevent Mosquitoes This Summer
In the Southeastern United States it can seem like mosquitoes are everywhere, but a few simple maintenance tricks can make mosquitoes want to go somewhere else. Here are our top 5 tips for preventing mosquitoes in your yard:
- Remove standing water: Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so it’s important to remove any sources of water from your yard. This includes any water that’s collected in things like birdbaths, old tires, and flowerpots.
- Drain gutters and downspouts: Mosquitoes will also breed in gutters and downspouts, so make sure they’re not clogged and remember to drain them regularly.
- Cover water features: If you have any water containers or water features that can’t be drained, consider adding a lid. Make sure it fits well and mosquitoes can’t get through.
- Keep your yard neatly manicured: Mosquitoes spend most of their life lounging in overgrown grass and shrubbery.
- Get preventative treatment from a professional mosquito extermination company: A professional mosquito exterminator will be able to assess your property and determine the best course of treatment and prevention for you.
