If bug spray isn’t enough to take the edge off your pest issues, professional Xenia mosquito control from Mosquito Squad is here to help!
In the Midwestern U.S., we enjoy the full spectrum of seasons, with hot summers, cold winters, and vibrant springs, spurring us to make the most of the warm weather when it comes to stay in our region for several months. From spending time out in the yard to hosting gatherings with family and friends, the warmer seasons are the best time of year to savor the open air, but doing so comes with a caveat here: Pests. At their deepest instinctual level, it often seems like the pests in our region know they have very little time to live their lives before winter kills them or forces them into dormancy, which urges them to make the most of their limited months. Unfortunately, their motivation is a detriment to our outdoor lifestyles, as frantic mosquitoes, gnats, ticks, and other common pests target us in our backyards when we are doing our best to relax and make the most of the warm breeze. A common response to any pest issue is to go to a local store and purchase insect repellent to keep mosquitoes and other pests from biting you, but this method really won’t do anything to maintain a relaxing environment. These insects will still be around, buzzing and crawling, but they just won’t bite as often. The problem, as you will have guessed, is that this method does nothing to address the source of your pest issues in the yard, and no store-bought solution is going to get you the results you need for true relief.
As far as DIY solutions go, the best method is to conduct thorough yard work regularly by clearing leaf litter and natural detritus, trimming unruly vegetation, and ensuring gutters and other sources of standing water are emptied. Doing so will reduce habitat for pests ranging from mosquitoes to ticks, and it will make the results of a professional Xenia mosquito control visit all the more effective!
