Mosquitoes are well known pests and how to get rid of mosquitoes is a common problem, especially in the summer season. Here are 5 very useful tips to get rid of mosquitoes.
1. My number one advice how to get rid of mosquitoes would be to focus on avoiding the mosquitoes rather than on killing them. Mosquito lethal traps will normally contain some kind of attractant. While the happy consumers are watching with satisfaction the number of mosquito fatalities in the trap they have just bought, they usually overlook the number of mosquitoes the trap attracted but did not kill…
2. So now that we know that avoidance is the key factor, how do we get rid of mosquitoes? One of the common and most practical ways is using mosquito nets, covering the home windows and/or around the bed – to protect the sleeping person directly.
The drawback is that mosquitoes are active normally during the warm seasons and mosquito nets hold back the fresh air. Moreover, while netting around the bed does prevent them from reaching our skin, it does not help avoiding mosquitoes from detecting us. Thus, the mosquito females will wait on the mesh and the moment we leave the safety zone we will most probably get bitten…
3. Did you know that mosquitoes number one attractant is the slightly high CO2 concentration that accumulates around our body as we breathe? Accordingly, getting rid of this CO2 concentration around us should be our number one priority. A swinging fan blowing air towards us will do a very good job in this matter. Additionally, mosquitoes normally do not fly in a windy environment and thus will not fly around us while sleeping under the fan gust. So remember – a simple fan can be highly effective way how to get rid of mosquitoes!
4. As we are all aware of, not all mosquito bites occur at night and in a net-protectable environment. The easiest way how to get rid of mosquitoes during daytime and especially outside is by wearing long sleeves shirt and pants. In addition to the physical barrier that long sleeves clothes generate, light-color clothing will further reduce the attraction of mosquito females and minimize mosquito bites.
5. Finally, I believe that the ultimate way how to get rid of mosquitoes must involve using mosquito repellents. These repellents are divided to two functional groups: those we can spread on our skin as personal repellent and those we evaporate into the air to establish mosquito-free nearby-space (i.e. citronela candles). As a complementary control one can use mosquito traps located at the the back yard perimeter, to minimize the mosquito population in our area.
