Ways to Keep Mosquitos Out
As summer comes, it is important to protect yourself from mosquitoes. People know that these small but dangerous animals can spread diseases like dengue, malaria, and the Zika virus. That’s why you should take these safety steps to lower the chance of getting mosquitoes in and around your house and neighborhood.
First, get rid of any leftover or stagnant water that mosquitoes could use to lay their eggs. This includes planters, bird baths, tarps, clogged pipes, and outdoor water bowls for pets. Regularly emptying these will keep water from building up and providing nesting spots for mosquitos.
Second, think about adding plants to your yard that keep mosquitoes away. Citronella, basil, lemon balm, and marigolds are all plants that are known to keep mosquitoes away. Not only do they make your home look nicer, but they also naturally keep mosquitoes away.
Taking good care of the plants in your garden can also make a big difference. Mosquitoes like it best when it’s cool and damp outside. Cut back trees, bushes, and grass that are getting too big to make these hiding places smaller. Also, don’t forget to mow your yard and get rid of any weeds that grow too tall.
A popular and effective way to lower mosquito risks is to use mosquito repellents. Before going outside, put on EPA-approved insect repellent on any skin and clothes that will be exposed. This is especially important at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
