Mosquito Control

Here are a few mosquito control methods you can employ in addition to hiring a professional pest control company to spray for these pests:
Get Rid of Standing Water
Don’t allow water to stand around in bird baths, plant pots, or other spots in your yard. Change bird bath water regularly. Any standing water provides a spot for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. You can prevent the eggs from hatching into new mosquitoes by removing standing water.
Mosquito-Repelling Plants
There are several common plants that can repel mosquitoes. Add pots of them to your porch and patio to keep mosquitoes away from your entrances. You might also plant them in the ground where you want to reduce mosquito numbers. These plants include marigolds, lavender, rosemary, catmint, mint, and lemon grass.
Mow Grass
Keep your lawn mown regularly to reduce places for pests to hide. Long grass can provide shelter and shade for pests like mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Hire a lawn maintenance service to help you keep your lawn mowed or to eliminate weeds.
