Mosquito control methods for your home and garden

Likely breeding sites:

• Check every door and window of your home. If they have gaps in them, that could be a breeding site. Window screens should fit tightly without any gaps at the edges to avoid mosquitos from breeding there.
• Do you have stagnant water in a pool in your garden? Here's where mosquitos lay their eggs. So, spray disinfectant here too.
• Are there any tree hollows in your garden? If rain water collects here, it could lead to mosquito infestation. Have this tree removed.
• Any gardening equipment which can be a receptacle for water can be home to mosquito larvae. Turn it over and drain the water so that it is not home to mosquitos.

What to use: Crush citronella grass leaves or those of catnip, rosemary or lemon thyme and rub it on your skin to keep mosquitos at bay. Alternatively, spray mosquito spray or foggers on your lawn, trees, bushes, etc and allow it to dry. This will kill mosquitos.

Another good method of getting rid of mosquitos is to lay mosquito traps that lure the females that are about 100 feet away and they die in the trap. Eight weeks of using traps can make a significant difference to your mosquito menace.
How to choose a good mosquito trap: Wherever in the world you might live, you're surely going to encounter mosquitos. You might choose to use repellents to get rid of them but this isn't a permanent cure, so you would have to finally buy a trap mosquito. If you have a lawn, then it's best to have a trap because they will make your lawn their breeding ground.
Looking for a good mosquito trap may prove to be a challenge because there are several good ones in the market, so you would need to research the best among them for your specific needs. Here are a few tips to choosing the right trap mosquito for you:

• Ask people around you about the best one to go with. Based on their suggestions and experiences, you can find one for yourself.
• Look up the Net and read testimonials users have put up.
• Look for a product that can be conveniently set up in your yard or garden. How you place it is crucial to getting rid of these pests. Only then can it be effective for you.
• Check out the varieties of odours present in these traps. There are some that use propane and others that are odourless, so find out about this too.
• Look for those that are value for money. Buy a good one that could make a difference to your home and family.
