How To Eliminate Mosquitoes Effectively at Home

Mosquitoes do more than leave itchy bite marks on our skin; they can also transmit disease, so it is important to minimize their presence in our homes. The first one is to clear away their breeding ground. Mosquito eggs are laid in stagnant water, so you should regularly clear standing water out of things like flower pots, buckets, pet water bowls and clogged gutters. When your home and yard stay dry, mosquito populations are naturally driven down.

Next, think about walls and doors that will keep mosquitoes out of your living quarters. Keep windows and doors screened, use mosquito nets over beds and seal up gaps or cracks around doors and windows. Electric repellents and citronella candles can also offer some extra safeguarding if you’re going to be sitting in an area you think may be particularly drowning in the little pests, like a kitchen or out on a patio, or next to where you’ve got potted plants out.

And lastly, your home defense can benefit from the use of chemical or natural repellents. Sprays, coils and household plug-in devices can diminish the activity of adult mosquitoes, and repellents used on exposed skin help to protect the individual. Environmental management, barriers, and repellent, all together makes an excellent system for making your home mosquito free.
