5 Top Mosquito Tips for Pest Management Clients:
Mosquito Tip One: Walk around your surroundings
Before spraying yourself with bug spray, make your backyard less inviting to mosquitos. Start by eliminating any standing, stagnant water where mosquitos could breed. Check places like buckets, gutters, children's playsets, or plastic covers.
Mosquito Tip Two: Grow your garden
Try a chemical-free approach to repelling mosquitos, by adding potted plants to your garden can go a long way to repel mosquitoes. It's the essential oils inside these plants that indeed repel mosquitos, and those oils are released when the leaves are crushed or rubbed directly onto the skin.
Mosquito Tip Three: Invest in a misting system
Misting systems are one way to wage war against mosquitos on your property seriously. These systems are made up of nozzles connected via tubing to a tank that holds an insecticide. The vents, set around the perimeter of your yard, spray a fine mist of poison to kill and repel mosquitos.
Mosquito Tip Four: Fix your wardrobe when you go outside. Long sleeves, pants, and socks are one way to protect against mosquitos. Most fabric can act as a barrier, making it more difficult for mosquitos to reach your skin in the first place. If long sleeves and pants aren't your Texas summer style, tucking in your shirt is still a good idea.
Mosquito Tip Five: Chemical repellents fight mosquitos through sprays, armbands, and clip-on accessories.
