Mosquitoes are tough to manage, and they can even bite through clothing! Unfortunately, jeans often aren’t a match for determined mosquitoes, highlighting Simsbury mosquito control’s importance
Throughout the outdoor living season, mosquitoes plague our region tirelessly as females seek us out for a potential blood meal. Blood is the essential ingredient needed for female mosquitoes to lay healthy eggs that will hatch in a matter of a couple weeks, so preventing mosquito bites is important both for your comfort and to stop fueling mosquito population growth. So, what can you do to reduce the likelihood of mosquitoes targeting you successfully? There are a few solutions you can rely on.
Simsbury Mosquito Control and Easy DIY Mosquito Defenses
When you head outside, you are automatically a prime target for mosquitoes, but there are a few things you can do to help you avoid painful, itchy mosquito bites. For example, applying CDC-approved mosquito repellent with DEET to your body, or applying mosquito spray with permethrin to your clothing (clothing recommended only), you can keep the vast majority of mosquitoes from biting you. However, this does involve wearing a chemical on your body, which isn’t always ideal, especially for people who are sensitive to these sprays. Another method is by wearing baggy or thick clothing that covers your entire body; mosquitoes can bite through jeans that are thin, worn, or tight-fitting, so baggy pairs are ideal. Unfortunately, using this method can be extremely hot and tends to be unrealistic on the hot summer days we experience here. Out in nature, these methods should be your go-to, but you should look to professional mosquito control in Simsbury for mosquito control in your yard.
