However, there are a few other ways you can reduce the population of mosquitos around your home.

Keep Your Home Mosquito-Free!
The mosquito population seems to double in the spring and summer seasons. With those months fast approaching, it’s only natural for you to be concerned about mosquitos taking over your yard and home. That is why we’ve compiled a list of things you can do to lessen the life of mosquitos around your area.
Natural Repellents
There are certain scents that these creatures are attracted to and certain scents that keep them away. With that in mind, it’s important you utilize the right methods for deterring mosquitos from your home and yard. Citronella is a great way to do this!
Citronella and lemon eucalyptus are two scents known to deter mosquitos. You can find these scents in essential oil form and also candle form. By bringing insects or lighting a few strategically placed candles, you can enjoy a quiet night in your backyard without worrying about potential mosquito bites.
It should go without saying that insect repellent is a must whenever you step outdoors. However, it never hurts to have extra protection, such as candles, in place.
Other natural repellents are certain plants and flowers. By planting these in your backyard, not only will you be making the place more beautiful, but you’ll be deterring mosquitos from hanging around. Lavender, Basil, Peppermint, and Catnip, just to name a few, are all excellent options for lessening the mosquito population around your home.
Extra Precautions
Most people only have to worry about mosquitos infesting their yard. However, it’s not unheard of for mosquitos to take up residency in your home. With that in mind, there are a few measures you can put in place to lessen the likelihood of this happening.
Firstly, if your windows are not already equipped with screens, it would be a great idea to invest in some. By installing these screens, you lessen the chance of bugs flying in if your windows are ever open. Additionally, if you’d like further protection, you can buy strips that go around your window and door frames to block mosquitos coming in through the cracks.
You can also place some of those previously mentioned plants near your windows or doors as a guard for preventing mosquitos from venturing indoors.
