Where to Spray For Mosquitoes
Using a mosquito fogger is a great way to keep mosquitoes from coming into your yard. The best time to use a mosquito repellent is before you host an outdoor event.
The best way to control mosquitoes is to get rid of their breeding places. These include standing water, tall grasses, bushes and buildings.
In the south, the Asian Tiger mosquito is the most common. This species breeds in standing water and grows to an estimated ten inches in length. It’s not uncommon to see this species spawning year-round in the southern regions of the United States.
If you live in the South and Southwest, your mosquito season is long. However, it doesn’t have to be. Some regions, including the Gulfcoast, experience a year-round spawning cycle. In fact, it’s fairly common to see over 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months in these areas.
If you are considering spraying for mosquitoes, you may want to look into getting a sprayer that uses a insect growth regulator. These are effective and safe, and they are inexpensive.
In addition, you can also use a hose-end applicator to apply a mosquito treatment. These treatments are effective at killing both larvae and adults. They can last for a day or two after the initial application, because migration and migration time can cause them to reappear.
In the southern parts of the country, the best place to spray for mosquitoes is before they begin to spawn. This is particularly important if you have property that backs up to a field or woods.
