What are your plans for the summer? Do you have travel plans? Are you staying close to home? Do you hope to spend some time at the beach or maybe by the pool? If your plans for the summer include time spent in your own backyard, nothing can ruin those plans faster than a yard full of mosquitoes. Luckily, you can take your yard back from mosquitoes with Arrow Pest Control.
July and August are the most active time of year for mosquitoes. They thrive in the hot, humid weather that these months bring. Even so, some yards seem to have an overabundance of mosquitoes while others don’t have much of a problem. What’s the difference between the two?
The main difference is water. Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, so if your property tends to be on the wetter side, you’ll almost always have more mosquitoes than someone with a drier lawn.
While there are some things you can do on your own to reduce the moisture levels on your property, such as installing drainage systems and cleaning out your gutters, it’s almost impossible to completely dry out your yard.
Other DIY mosquito control efforts can be equally as futile. Citronella candles are only mildly effective at keeping mosquitoes at bay. Bug spray can help, but you have to make sure you put it on every time you go outside. Mosquito control sprays can be dangerous to your family, pets, and garden if you don’t use them properly.
So what should you do? Call Arrow Pest Control! We offer monthly mosquito treatments that target both adult mosquitoes and their eggs, ensuring the elimination of these pests at all stages of development. Our technicians concentrate their efforts on treating the shady areas where adult mosquitoes tend to rest during the day, as well as the likely breeding areas around your yard. By having our technicians return to perform treatments on a monthly basis, the mosquito populations in your yard will be greatly reduced all summer long, allowing you to enjoy your time spent outdoors again.
If a mosquito-free yard sounds like something you’d like to experience, contact Arrow Pest Control to schedule an appointment.
