When to Spray For Mosquitoes

Wouter

During warmer months, mosquitoes become active. These insects are a serious problem as they carry diseases and can infect humans with West Nile virus. They are also known to bite and leave an itchy mark on your skin.

The best way to get rid of mosquitoes is to control the breeding process. This is done by reducing the amount of places where they can breed. This includes areas like standing water and dark, humid areas.

You can prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in your yard by treating your yard before the mosquito breeding season begins. The first step is to survey your yard. Find where the breeding sites are and spray them. Then, you can remove any standing water. Keeping your yard properly drained will help keep these pests out.

Aside from reducing the breeding sites, you should also make sure to spray for mosquitoes in the areas where they congregate. This includes sitting areas, behind doors, under decks, and other hard-to-reach places. You can also use insect repellents that contain DEET.

The best time to spray for mosquitoes is during the spring. This is when they are laying eggs. Using a pest control service can help you identify the right areas to spray.

You should always wear long pants and a long sleeved shirt when you are going out in the evening. The longer you are outside, the more likely you are to be bitten. You can also try mosquito repellents that contain natural pyrethrins, which are not harmful to humans or animals.
