On the whole, an all-natural mosquito control sprays are popular among customers who are in search of eco-friendly solutions. These sprays break down more quickly in the environment, resulting in a decreased impact. Natural sprays can target and eliminate adult insects on contact without the use of strong chemicals. These formulas continue to protect by serving as a repellent for up to 2 weeks. Re-application can be done as often as required until the problem is resolved.
Listed below are some basic mosquito prevention tips that you may find useful.
1. First, wear protective clothing that covers most of your body, if the temperature permits.
2. Do not allow food, trash, decaying wood, etc. to remain in or on your home. Get rid of watering cans, discard old tires and cover rain barrels to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
3. Cover or seal trash tightly. Garbage can lids should be kept closed and secured at all times.
4. Avoid mosquitoes from coming into your home by making sure that all your window screens are intact.
5. If you have a pond in your garden, stock it with some fish that will eat the mosquito larvae.
6. Keep all areas where food is prepared, stored, and served clean and free of crumbs and grease.
7. Regularly cut back shrubs and vines that overhang or touch your property.
8. Many communities conduct large-scale spraying of pesticides containing malathion to control mosquito populations during the spring and summer, especially in attempts to reduce the spread of West Nile encephalitis. Note that Adulticiding and Fogging (external repellants) fend off adult mosquitoes for a short period of time only. They are only effective if you're going to host a picnic or some other outdoor event the next day. Do not expect lasting effect.
9. Protect yourself and others from contact with any DEET pesticide (DEET is a toxic element commonly found in repellants).
10. Many natural or man-made products are gaining popularity as mosquito repellents. Citronella oil, a product of several types of trees, can be made into candles or burned directly, is an effective mosquito repellent in high concentrations. It is also a myth that ultraviolet lights (like those in bug zappers) and ultrasonic devices are ineffective to get rid of mosquitoes.
Otherwise, seeking the services of trained mosquito removal experts is very much advised, for long-term effects in improving your health and in the prevention of possible dangers caused about by mosquitoes.
When Professional Mosquito Control Is Called For
Even when safety precautions are taken, mosquitoes can breed. Since stagnant water is challenging to remove from every possible area including pet water bowls, flowerpot saucers, pool covers, and birdbaths --- mosquitoes can appear even when you think you've gotten rid all of their favorite breeding spots.
That's where a professional mosquito control service can help. Available for both commercial and residential properties, this service can:
● Apply a pest-control barrier that lasts up to 3-4 weeks.
● If the customer prefers, apply a gentler form of organic repellent that lasts up to 2 weeks per application.
● Treat areas throughout the summer or whenever mosquitoes thrive best and in full activity.
● Spray areas before holding a special event, such as a birthday, grad party, or wedding.
A trusted professional pest control company not only knows and recommends what products to use but also how much application is used to an area to ensure that the problem is taken care of.
They are also aware of how insecticides might impact individuals whose health is already compromised. They can then prepare and execute custom solutions based on the customers' needs in certain situations.
