How to Control Mosquitoes
Because of their widespread distribution and ability to migrate, mosquito populations are difficult
to control. Even if all mosquito breeding is eliminated in one area, new members from another
area can fly in to feed. Spraying or fogging around your property can provide some temporary
relief from biting adults, and may not be a bad idea if you are going to have an outdoor event.
Things you can do to help:
The best thing you can do to help is to discourage new mosquitoes from hatching close to your home.
Any sources of stagnant water should be eliminated weekly. This can be done by simply emptying
them, changing the water, or disposing of containers. This will at least keep them from breeding
on your property. Many repellant products are available for adult mosquitoes. Some repellants
can be applied to the skin to keep them from biting, while others may be designed to keep them
away from an outside area. In some areas where mosquito populations are high, people will build
screened enclosures so they can be outside in peace.
