Mosquitoes Are Lightweights

Posted by Mosquito Squad

August 9, 2018

When you have a beautiful day and wish to hang out in the backyard, you don’t want those unwanted guests to show up – mosquitos!

Mosquitoes find us by how we smell and the carbon dioxide that we breathe. According to the American Mosquito Control Association a large fan on your deck can help because mosquitoes are lightweights- they are weak fliers.  A fans breeze disperses the human emanations which greatly reduces the mosquitoes. The New York Times shared an article on this low tech mosquito deterrent. Strategically placing oscillating fans may be a simple solution for your patio or deck area.
