How To Help Reduce the Mosquitoes in Your Yard
Understanding where mosquitoes prefer to hide, breed, and feed is crucial to controlling their population. A few things that you can do around your yard to minimize the mosquitoes include:
- Draining stagnant water. Since mosquito larvae breed in standing water, check for any buckets, swings, plants, wheelbarrows, etc. that have water in them and remove it.
- Clearing clogged gutters. Anywhere water drainage clogs will lead to stagnant water, so you should keep your gutters and other drains clear.
- Regularly mowing the lawn. Mosquitoes tend to find shelter in overgrown grass and shrubbery, which is why a mowing schedule helps you stay ahead of the problem.
- Keep the yard clean. Tidy up any debris, and if you have woodpiles, ensure they are stacked evenly in a dry location.
You can also create a barrier of mulch or gravel between the wooded areas of your yard and your home for an extra layer of coverage. And when it comes to maximizing your protection, we can handle it. Of course, you don’t need to take our word for it. Check out these recent reviews!
