In Florida, mosquitoes have quite a presence, especially during peak mosquito season. These pests are most active in warmer months, ruining our summer fun outside. But just because these pests are active does not mean you are not able to avoid them. Check out our top three ways to avoid mosquitoes while outside.
When spending time outdoors, it’s important to utilize mosquito repellent containing DEET. These repellents will help protect you from mosquitoes biting your skin. Sparingly spray the repellent on your skin, covering any exposed areas while outdoors. In addition to using repellent, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and avoid perfumes to reduce the chance of getting bitten.
To avoid mosquitoes during your backyard BBQ’s or picnics, it is always best to keep your yard well-maintained. Mosquitoes need only ½” of water to breed. Ensure that you fill any holes or hollow trees from gathering water. Equally, make sure gutters are clear of debris to avoid pooling water, correct any drainage issues, and eliminate any other sources of moisture – like toys and other containers that collect water.
Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Consider having a party or outdoor event before sunset instead of in the middle of the day. Placing citronella candles throughout your yard can also help minimize mosquito activity and reduce mosquito bites.
If you’ve noticed more mosquito activity this summer, reach out to your local South Florida mosquito control company to schedule a thorough property inspection and a comprehensive mosquito control plan, consisting of monthly mosquito treatments.
