Mosquitoes aren’t only annoying, but they can spread diseases like West Nile, Zika, malaria, and more. You don’t want to expose yourself or your family to these threats.

If you’re experiencing mosquitoes in or around your home, you’ll be glad to learn there are ways to combat these tiny nuisances.

Learn how to conquer your mosquito problem using the methods below.

What to Do if Your Home Has a Mosquito Problem

Start with the Lawn

Mosquito control begins with the area around your home. What you’ll want to do is treat the yard and kill the larvae.

Mosquito dunks and granules work best for this, but timing is everything here. Use these methods before the beginning of mosquito season for the best result.

Mosquito-killing sprays kill mosquitoes on contact. Spray the perimeter of your house, and remember to treat shady and damp areas as well.

Eliminate any sources of standing water. Mosquitoes don’t need a lot of water to breed. Buckets, flower pots, kiddie pools, and anywhere that can collect water is a potential breeding ground for these pests.

You might want to consider planting some mosquito-repelling plants. Not only do many of these flowers and plants smell good, but they also keep mosquitoes away!

Use Mosquito Netting

Are you wondering how to keep mosquitoes away from your house? If these nuisances have made their way inside, there are a few tricks you can try.

First, seal any gaps in your screens and doors. This makes it harder for them to get in.

You can buy mosquito nets to place around your bed, around windows and doors, or install them across your outdoor sitting area. There are both treated and untreated mosquito nets. Treated nets help repel mosquitoes more using insecticide.

Light Candles and Lanterns

Mosquitoes don’t like certain smells, so you can burn candles to keep them away. Here are some scents mosquitoes hate:

  • Citronella
  • Peppermint
  • Lavender
  • Eucalyptus
  • Lemongrass
  • Clove
  • Cedarwood
  • Rosemary

Burning candles or lanterns with these smells can help keep your home free of these pests. For the best results, use mosquito-repelling candles in small areas without too much air movement.

Use Repellents

If you’re sitting outside, personal repellents can help keep the mosquitoes away. There are both natural mosquito-repellent sprays and ones with DEET.

The downside is repellents are temporary, and if these bugs are in the house, it may not be the best solution.

Hire a Pest Control Company

Knowing how to prevent mosquitoes is one thing, but having the right tools for the job is another. In some cases, especially if you’re dealing with indoor mosquitoes, you should consider calling a professional service.

A pest control service can quickly and efficiently deal with the problem. There are even green pest control services that use environmentally friendly methods. You can learn more about that, and mosquitoes in general, when you read these mosquito facts.

End Your Mosquito Problem Today

If you have a mosquito problem, try our above tips to try and control the situation. If the DIY methods don’t work, hire a pest control service so you can relax again this summer.
