While it’s never possible to get rid of all mosquitoes, nor get rid of them permanently, there are ways to help keep most of them away continuously.
Mosquito control in our area requires a comprehensive approach. At Mosquito Squad of Hartford, we know that mosquito control and deterrence begin with the home or business owners themselves. And with us as your partner in mosquito and outdoor insect control, together we can eliminate up to 90% of the mosquitoes on your property and continue to control and deter them for up to three weeks. Here’s how we do it!
What Can You Do to Make Your Yard Less Friendly to Mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes require still or stagnant water in which to lay their eggs. They can deposit them in a minuscule amount of water – even a bottle cap can hold enough water for mosquito eggs. The first method of mosquito prevention is to eliminate standing water in your yard and prevent it from re-forming. Seeing that irrigations systems are not leaking, picking up toys and other items that gather water, and not overwatering outdoor plants are just some of the ways to eliminate potential mosquito habitats.
Does this mean you have to eliminate backyard water features, ponds, pools, or pet bowls? Not exactly. If you have these items around your property, you can maintain them to avoid mosquitoes using them as breeding sites. Birdbaths and other water features can be helped by using a natural larvicide and/or adding an agitator. Pet bowls and wading pools should have their water changed at least every three days. Mosquito eggs can develop into larvae in about 48 hours, so in the event that eggs are present in an outdoor water receptacle, they can be interrupted by dumping them in an area that will not result in pooling water.
