Effective Mosquito Control for Rhode Island Residents: What to Avoid
One of the most important factors of effective mosquito control is understanding their behavior. Knowing what attracts mosquitoes, and what environmental conditions they thrive in can go a long way towards keeping your lawn clear of them and limiting your encounters with them on a day-to-day basis. Here are three things to avoid to help limit your interaction with these harmful pests:
1. Wearing Dark Colors
Due to mosquitoes’ poor eyesight, they are attracted to objects that sharply contrast with the environment. When you wear dark colors, you make yourself easily distinguishable from the background, and thus an easy target for hungry mosquitoes. Wear light colors when outdoors in areas where mosquitoes are prevalent to reduce chances of being bitten.
2. Outdoor Activities at Dawn and Dusk
Mosquitoes are most active during the hours around dawn and dusk. To limit your exposure to mosquitoes, take care to schedule any outdoor activities around these times.
3. A Messy Lawn
Messy lawns are a paradise for pests, and mosquitoes & ticks are no exception. Sources of standing water and leaf litter provide mosquitoes with breeding grounds to grow their numbers. To help keep your lawn clear, make sure to tidy up your lawn, especially after storms and rainfall.
