Remove Nasty Bug at Home

By Breanna Sarkissian


Nasty flying bugs are arguably among, if not one of the most, annoying insect in the world. A mosquito's bite can and usually does ruin all outdoor functions throughout the spring and summer months. I'm not going to bore you with all the biology of mosquitoes, but what I will do is provide the knowledge and also the tools you will have to control them.

Top ten Mosquito Control Killers

1. Mechanical Control - That's where you should always start. Mechanical control happens when you take away the mosquito's source of breeding. If there aren't any places for mosquito larvae to hatch and grow adults, you've just eliminated almost all of the problem. Old tires, flower pots, pools, bird baths, clogged gutters and impressions in the ground are all ideal mosquito breeding havens. Remove water after rains from anything the will hold moisture. Repairing screen doors, door sweeps, etc will also eliminate places into the house.

2. Mosquito Repellent - There are numerous mosquito repellents on the market. DEET is usually the main ingredient, but anything over 20% is a waste. So see the label carefully before buying. Lotions like Skin so Soft, and various brands of Citronella goods like Tiki torches and bucket candles may also be very popular.

3. Mosquito dunks - Mosquito dunks are a larvicide which kills the mosquito larvae by preventing them from growing into adults, and or contaminating the larvae's source of food (bacteria, algae etc). Some mosquito dunks is often rather costly. Just use dunks in standing stagnant water it doesn't go away. Please look at LABEL before applying, because it's not designed for large bodies water.

4. Mosquito Trap / Magnet - The mosquito magnet (also referred to as a mosquito trap) may be the Cadillac of mosquito control systems. Mosquito magnets are propane operated and have to have the use of Octenol or Lurex (determined by what types of mosquitoes come in the area you live). The combination of CO2 and Octenol mimic a person's breath, which in turn attracts mosquitoes for the location of the trap. If you spend considerable time outdoors, you ought to seriously consider one of these. The Skeetervac mosquito trap can be very effective.

5. Mosquito Net / Netting - Mosquito nets are incredibly popular for outdoor events like camping. Netting comes in all forms from gazebos, head netting as well as styles for sleeping outdoors. Netting is extremely good, but again, treating the origin is always the top.

6. Mosquito zapper - Here is the easy way out, and not the best type of mosquito control. Although it's cool to listen for mosquitoes get electrocuted while throwing down flu one, mosquitoes are not as at risk of lights like moths along with other insects.

7. Mosquito Fogger - Mosquito fogging isn't a long term solution, and definitely will give you quick relief. Mosquitoes are territorial, so fogging will kill adult mosquito populations very quickly, but is not a longer term solution. Wind is also a factor, so if the wind speeds are above 3mph, fogging will not be as effective, if.
