Festive Seasons and Family Visits: How to Improve Mosquito Control

Holidays usually mean people gathering together, having meals outdoors and more activity around the house, which are conditions that mosquitoes love. Warmer weather, standing water and the increasing human presence attracting these pests, make mosquito control particularly important. Preventative steps create an environment for everyone with peace of mind and is as comfortable as it should be.

Firstly, it’s about removing breeding sites on and around your property. Empty small bird baths and flower pots, pile tires and unclog gutters or any other container that accumulates rainwater. Indoors, make sure windows and doors are covered with screens and that appropriate mosquito nets are incorporated when needed. Plug-in repellers, aroma sticks, or electric traps might help as well to eliminate mosquito nuisance when you are enjoying your party.

Protecting yourself is still key, particularly for outdoor celebrations. Use mosquito repellent directly on the skin, wear long sleeves and light-colored clothes, and plan outside events so they do not occur when mosquitoes are most active — usually at dawn and at dusk. With infusing the environmental management in personal protection, you will never worry about the buzzing of the mosquitoes at night and enjoy your sweet dreams.
