Backyard Mosquito Problems? Mosquito Nurseries are Near

Mosquitoes abound in our region, and many are born in your yard! Help defend against them with Hartford mosquito control

Living in our region comes with a whole host of great benefits, particularly during the outdoor living season, so what is your preferred activity during this time of year? For many, simply relaxing near your yard, on the patio, or somewhere in the open air is the perfect way to unwind on a daily basis, yet there are many pests that can make this challenging. Thanks to warming temperatures in our region and abundant sources of blood, mosquitoes are becoming an all-too common problem here, and that’s not all. Scarily, research shows that certain species of mosquito will preferentially target humans over other animals in the natural world, putting us and our outdoor lifestyles at greater risk. Indeed, our health is also threatened thanks to these insects.

Hartford Mosquito Control, DIY Can Help

The United States is renowned for many reasons, but mosquito-borne disease isn’t one of them. Our country, historically, hasn’t had huge issues with mosquitoes transmitting diseases to humans, yet this could be changing based on current estimates. While relatively rare in our region, diseases like West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis do appear in mosquitoes and their human victims from time to time. Such transmissions highlight the ineffectiveness of some mosquito control methods, so here are some things you can do. One of the most critical steps is to eliminate standing water from your property. If you've ever noticed how intense mosquitoes become in the days following a summer rain, there is a good reason: they lay their eggs in water!

Since mosquitoes depend on standing water to lay their eggs, the water that lingers after a summer rain is perfect territory for a mosquito nursery right in your backyard. As you can imagine, mosquitoes breeding in large numbers on your property is a terrible prospect that can lead to huge disruptions in your outdoor lifestyle. So, make sure you implement some mosquito control measures. For instance, inspect your gutters for blockages that could create puddles within. Additionally, make sure yard waste is cleared from your property regularly, including leaves and other debris that can collect water. Finally, make sure pots, bird baths, and fountains are checked regularly to eliminate standing water and ensure that mosquito larvae don’t have a sanctuary in which to thrive. These methods do require some work on your part, so for the most effective solutions available, rely on the mosquito control professionals at Mosquito Squad!
