Mosquitoes thrive in standing water—it’s their favorite breeding ground! Whether it’s clogged gutters, birdbaths, neglected flowerpots, or even something as small as a bottle cap, any spot that collects water can become a mosquito egg haven.
Time for a little home improvement! Dump any standing water each week, scrub those gutters, and seal the deal with EPA-approved repellents (lemon eucalyptus). Bonus tip: plug in a fan outside—mosquitoes are terrible flyers!
It doesn’t take much—just a thimble of water is enough. So if it rained or you’ve been watering plants, do a quick scan for tiny puddles and dump ’em out.
Use citronella candles! They smell nice and help a little if you’re sitting right next to them. But for serious mosquito defense, go with sprays or professional treatments.
Mosquito Guard brings the big guns —barrier sprays that zap mosquitoes before they can bite. It’s like a backyard forcefield that lasts for weeks.
Think of it like a lawn service for bugs—every 21 days (the mosquito life cycle) during mosquito season keeps your yard itch-free and enjoyable.
Totally—when applied by trained pros. Just give it a little time to dry before the dog or kids head back outside for more summer fun.
It’s not just in your head—mosquitoes are attracted to body heat, certain odors, and even your blood type. And yes, dark clothing makes you more of a target too!
