Who to Rely on for Lafayette Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes are a serious risk to our outdoor lifestyles in Lafayette, delivering painful bites and subsequently intolerable itchy spots. All this is in addition to the risks posed by mosquito-borne diseases. To reclaim your property from these biters, there are a few things you can do on your own to take the edge off your mosquito problem, and professional mosquito control is the perfect complement to these efforts.

DIY Lafayette Mosquito Control Tips

Like any animal, mosquitoes thrive in certain environmental conditions that are often found in our own backyards. To help discourage mosquitoes from seeing your property as a prime habitat, here are some things you can do to help.

Remove yard waste: While we associate mosquitoes with warm weather, they cannot tolerate direct sunlight for long, which means they will seek shelter in the dark areas of your property. Leaf litter, dirt piles, and untrimmed foliage are all key shelters for mosquitoes, so make sure to care for these yard elements appropriately or remove them entirely.

Dump out standing water: Mosquitoes lay their eggs in water where they turn into larvae and eventually fledge into adult mosquitoes. Without water, mosquitoes can’t reproduce, so make sure to remove water from bird baths, gutters, and other receptacles that mosquitoes can use to their advantage.

Anti-mosquito plants: Mosquitoes aren’t fans of plants that produce certain scents and oils, including lavender, citronella, lemongrass, rosemary, marigolds, and more. Fortunately, each of these plants is a great addition to any garden.

While each of these methods is important for discouraging mosquitoes, the most powerful way to keep mosquitoes at bay is with professional help.
