There is nothing worse than a mosquito. They not only bombard your backyard party but they bite and leave you itching and frustrated. Of course there are plenty of ways to combat these bugs with solutions ranging from candles, torches and incense to sprays and personal wearables. But the big problem with these methods, is by the time you spend the money and figure out what method works best, mosquito season is over and you’ve just wasted your whole summer. So what do we suggest? Read on to find out.

How to Make Bugs Want to Move Out!

The best place to start is to walk around your house and yard and look for places mosquitos, ticks, spiders and other pests would love to live in. Here are a few places mosquitos love:

  1. Standing water – a mosquito breeding ground
  2. Low lying bushes and trees where moisture can accumulate
  3. Under decks and porches
  4. Places where water doesn’t drain promptly
  5. Wet wood mulch

When you identify areas in your yard that are attractive to mosquitos, you should take steps to get rid of the areas you can, such as standing water in bird baths or kiddie pools and concentrate your efforts on the areas where changing the environment isn’t practical, such as underneath a deck or around a lot of landscaping.

Once you have your target areas, experiment with the different types of repellents to get a formula that works for your particular yard.

If this seems like a lot to do every time you want to use your yard, you can call a pro. There are different types of programs, but the most effective will include:

  1. Multiple applications every 21-30 days
  2. Warranty on effectiveness
  3. Trained and licensed technicians who know where to target the mosquitos
  4. Open communication with homeowner to coordinate any scheduling needs
