Bug Zappers, Effective or Not?

Windsor Locks mosquito control methods are diverse, and so are their efficacies. While bug zappers are powerful, they don’t address the source of your mosquito problem

Are you starting to make plans for the outdoor living season this year? The summer months are an important time to make plans to spend lots of time in the open air, something we all strive for when warm weather returns. From spending spare moments after work out on the deck to hosting a barbecue with friends and family, there are plenty of activities to look forward to during this time of year. These are traditions that are observed throughout our region once winter thaws, and these aren’t the only habits you will notice in the summer. If you enjoy relaxing in the open air, chances are you’re familiar with the smell of citronella candles or a bug zapper’s whine. Both citronella candles and bug zappers are common sights during the summer, because mosquitoes and other pests have returned to target us, potentially endangering our outdoor enjoyment. An individual mosquito is extremely fragile - it takes very little to eliminate one, but its strength doesn’t come from individuals; it comes from high reproduction rates and huge populations. Only two weeks are required for a mosquito to go from a larva to an adult, highlighting how quickly they can become a problem and how urgent mosquito control methods are.

Unfortunately, bug zappers or candles can only do so much against mosquitoes, with the former being much less effective. Mosquitoes rely heavily on their visual and olfactory senses to locate humans for blood, and citronella candles do an ok job of obscuring our scent and repelling mosquitoes at the same time. Bug zappers, on the other hand, do very little and won’t address the source of your insect problems. For that, you need expert assistance, and our team at Mosquito Squad is here to provide you with the powerful Windsor Locks mosquito control solutions you need to make the most of your backyard lifestyle once again.
