Professional Massachusetts mosquito control as well as taking some action on your own can greatly reduce the chances of being exposed to mosquitoes in the first place. Combining our highly effective mosquito control methods with the following tips will help to keep you and your family safe this season.
Reduce the mosquito population around your property.
Keeping the mosquito population down doesn’t take as much work as you might think. There are some easy things you can do to rid your property of any standing water where mosquitoes can lay their eggs.
- Empty wheelbarrows, flower pots, old tires, and any other containers that collect water.
- Change the water you use in bird baths and pet bowls on a weekly, if not daily, basis.
- Get rid of water that may have collected on pool covers and flip wading pools over when you’re not using them.
- Make sure your rain gutters are unclogged.
- Unclog drainage ditches.
Protect yourself from mosquitoes.
As much preventative effort as you put into reducing the mosquito population, you will still have to contend with some of them. While you are outside, here are a few things you can do to avoid getting bitten.
- Try to wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts outside, especially in the evening when it is cooler. Mosquitoes like it when it cools down, too!
- Use mosquito netting for porches and infant carriers.
- Use a safe mosquito repellant.
