Mosquitoes are both a nuisance and a potentially dangerous health threat due to a number of viruses they can transmit to humans. We understand how important it is that you provide a safe environment for your loved ones. Dealing with mosquito infestations promptly can offer you peace of mind that the well-being of your family is protected.
All of this considered, it can be very overwhelming to attempt to discern the best method of preventing mosquito infestations or dealing with them once they occur. There are a number of options available. Consider the following basic facts regarding each option to help you choose the right method for protecting your family from these harmful insects.
Mosquito Netting
Mosquito netting has traditionally been used for decades to protect a specific environment from being infiltrated by mosquitoes. The holes in mosquito netting are exceptionally small to prevent these tiny insects from being able to get through. The drawbacks of using netting include the fact that it only protects a relatively small area and you must remain contained inside this area to stay protected from being bitten by mosquitoes.
Mosquito Traps
Mosquito traps are available that operate either on gas or batteries. These traps serve to draw mosquitoes to them, sucking them into the trap where they remain stuck. A single mosquito trap can serve to protect about an acre of land. However, these traps must be kept running 24 hours a day to remain effective. On top of the constant run time, they can take up to a week to effectively reduce the mosquito population in a specific area.
Citronella Candles
Citronella candles have been a common choice as a mosquito repellant for many years. Citronella candles produce a citrus-based odor that mosquitos find offensive. While they are safe for use around people and animals, they can only be used outside where there is plenty of air circulating. Additionally, they only protect the immediate area in which they are located. This leaves the rest of your yard and those occupying it unprotected.
Misting Systems
There are a number of quality misting systems on the market today that are extremely effective at controlling the mosquito population around your home. In fact, misting systems such as those utilized by Mosquitonix can reduce the number of mosquitoes occupying your yard by 99%, ensuring your loved ones are protected from blood-borne illnesses that they can transmit.
Misting systems offer a great deal of peace of mind because they don’t simply protect one isolated area of your yard.
