North Reading Mosquito Control Around Your Pool

December 20, 2023

If you have a backyard pool, you have probably had your quality time interrupted by mosquitoes at one time or another. Why are mosquitoes so bad around pools?

Mosquitoes thrive in places, where water is available for them to lay their eggs. This is not to say that your pool water is enticing mosquito inhabitants. However, pool covers and other items, where water puddles form, are perfect places for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. Female mosquitoes can lay from 100 to 300 eggs every three days! North Reading mosquito control is essential around your backyard pools.

Other items around your pool that attract mosquitoes.

Pool toys and outside toys in general are also culprits for likely mosquito breeding grounds. Even a pair of simple goggles, lying by your pool with water in them, can create a mosquito incubator. Bigger pool floats, outside ride-on toys, or items as small as bottle caps, which hold water after use, can give female mosquitoes a perfect place to lay their eggs.

While you could mist your family with mosquito repellent sprays, it doesn't make much sense around pools. It will just wash off when you swim. Burning tiki torches and candles does very little to keep mosquitoes away, and some pool-goers might be averse to the smell or effects of these things. Also, if you have children playing around the pool, candles and torches are not the most kid-friendly items to employ for North Reading mosquito control.

How can you prevent mosquitoes from taking over your pool?

Keeping the areas around your yard and pool picked up and free of items, which can hold water, is essential in keeping mosquitoes from taking over your backyard pool. There are 7 T's of mosquito control. Do you know what they are?
