Mosquitoes are dangerous and annoying, so there’s a huge market for protective measures. Of course, when trying to protect your space from mosquitoes, it’s important to be aware of what works and what doesn’t. At Lawn Doctor of Smyrna-Brookhaven, our professional mosquito spraying in Mableton is a great way to reduce these pests and enjoy some much-deserved peace outdoors.
To protect yourself from mosquito bites when you are away from home, you’ll have to take additional precautions. After all, we can’t spray every local park or outdoor area. While there are several DIY remedies that work nicely to limit mosquito activity, there are also several options that make great claims only to fall short. Let’s take a look at the good and the bad.
Choosing the Right Mosquito Products
If you’ve ever dealt with a full-scale mosquito infestation around your property, you know how desperate these pests can make you feel. With their constant attacks and itchy bites, you’ll try almost anything you can to find some relief. Unfortunately, there are many products on the market that attempt to take advantage of this desperation. They offer solutions that sound great, but don’t actually work. These include:
- Anti-Mosquito Smartphone Apps. There are many options, all with the same premise. They emit dragonfly sounds from your phone to fend off mosquitoes. Dragonflies do prey on mosquitoes, so there is an element of truth involved. However, mosquitoes won’t be repelled by these sounds. They won’t even be scared off by actual dragonflies.
- Wristbands. These products spray mosquito repellent from around your wrist. This is not nearly a strong enough solution to provide any true relief. Mosquitoes will still bite your legs, neck, face, and anywhere else that isn’t directly next to this device.
The market for anti-mosquito products isn’t all bad, though. Here are a few supplies that will help:
- Chemical Repellents. Those containing DEET or picardin work the best.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. An option recommended by the CDC for those who want a botanical alternative.
- Mosquito Traps. A nice way to supplement our treatments and reduce your home’s mosquito population.
