If you have a mosquito problem, you can help reduce their numbers by controlling weeds on or near your property.
During the day, mosquitoes spend their time resting on low-lying vegetation.
They are attracted to the vegetation because of the higher humidity levels, allowing them to survive daytime temperatures without drying out
Although there are pest control products available, such as insect repellents, these are not always enough to control a big mosquito problem.
DEET is the most widely used active ingredient in insect repellents, and has been shown to be a safe and highly effective repellent. Using a DEET-based product is recommended as the most effective method of control for mosquitoes.
A natural alternative is Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, which can often found as an ingredient in repellents. However, if you buy this product from a natural health food store, it will not be as effective as a commercially available repellent with an OLE formulation.
Always use repellents with an EPA registration number.
A serious mosquito problem will often require the help of a professional exterminator.
