If you have been struggling with the discomfort and hassle of an overzealous mosquito population on your property, then read below for some helpful tips and tricks.
Keep Your Grass Short
Tall grass can offer shelter to breeding mosquitoes. By keeping your grass regularly trimmed you can avoid giving them a safe sanctuary for reproducing. While this certainly applies to lawn grass, keep this in mind for other ornamental grasses or garden beds, which may require hand trimming and maintenance to keep the mosquitoes away.
Avoid Standing Water
Mosquitoes need water to successfully reproduce in large quantities. For this reason, it is suggested that property owners limit access to standing water. Examples may include puddles of rainwater, swimming pools, hot tubs, garbage containers, decorative ponds, plant trays, water features and children’s toys. If you have a problem with overwatering or runoff from rain, then adjustments may need to be made.
Integrate Plant Varieties That Are Known to Repel Mosquitoes
Grow certain types of ornamental plants as a natural defense against Mosquitoes. By introducing citronella, basil, peppermint, rosemary, lemon balm and lavender into your landscape designs, you can create an additional deterrent against these pesky pests.
Invest in Professional Outdoor Pest Control Treatments
While the above suggestions can help people avoid an abundance of mosquitoes, you may need to take a more heavy-handed approach if you are already suffering. If these buzzing insects are causing you and your loved ones to stay indoors despite the sunny weather, then you may want to go the extra mile and invest in professional treatments. We offer a Mosquito Control program that utilizes eight different seasonal treatments from March to October. This will help to prevent the development of eggs while also limiting the population of adult mosquitoes. Our treatment products are safe for pets and children and will be administered by trained and experienced professionals. Discuss your needs one-on-one with our knowledgeable staff, and we will create a customized solution that will help you get the results you want.
