How to Avoid Mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are an annoying and unfortunately common pest. They can make a fun night out and make it an evening of itchy red bites. Mosquitoes also carry many diseases that they spread through their torturous bites. It makes sense that most people want to avoid mosquitoes at all costs. However, in some cases that can be easier said than done. Fortunately, Bee Smart Pest Control has tips to stay away from mosquitoes.

Use Insect Repellants

An obvious answer to avoiding insects is the use of insect repellants. In a spray can or even utilizing candles that may stave off mosquitoes, insect repellants are incredibly useful. They can keep mosquitoes and other bugs away, even if it’s only for a short time. Although, insect repellants are not a perfect solution. Many repellants may have harmful chemicals in them. There are some chemicals that should be avoided that are present in some insect repellants. If you’re going to use insect repellent, be careful what is in the repellant.

Wear Covering Clothes

Clothing can stop mosquitoes from being able to reach your skin. The ideal mosquito-resistant clothing is that which covers most of your body and is also loosely hung. Tight-fitting clothing does very little to prevent mosquitoes from being able to pierce the skin. If you can’t cover all of your skin, then you may want to put repellent on anything that is still showing. There are also some insecticides that are designed to be added to clothing. There are also clothing options that can come pre-treated with insecticides. Keep in mind that washing clothes that are treated with insecticide will become less effective after being sent through the wash.

Seal the Home

To avoid mosquitoes in your home you may want to seal everything that you can. When it comes to mosquitoes, the best thing you can do is check your screens. Rips, tears, or holes in mesh screens are the perfect way to let mosquitoes into your home. Replace any mesh screens that are damaged to avoid mosquitoes from flying inside your home this summer. In addition, try not to leave any doors or windows wide open for long periods of time. However, the best way to avoid mosquitoes is to call a professional.
