How to Get Rid of Mosquitos

You’re enjoying a beautiful outdoor evening, and suddenly mosquitos descend on you!

Mosquitos can transmit diseases, such as West Nile Virus and Malaria, so getting rid of them is essential for your well-being. They enter your home through open doors or windows, or they may be attracted to the light from televisions or lamps in your backyard. 

Mosquito bites often occur during the day when mosquitos are most active; it’s essential to take precautions against mosquito bites any time of day! This blog post will go over prevention, removal and relief methods that you can use to get rid of those pesky pests once and for all!

1. Install Window Screens 

Mosquitos can easily enter your home through open windows, so installing screens on all of your windows is crucial to keep them out. Flyscreens and window screens are great for keeping these pests out of your home when your windows are open.  

If you don’t have window screens, you can use a mosquito net over your bed or crib to protect yourself and your family from bites.

2. Use Candles

Everyone wants to be outside during the summer months, but this is also when mosquitos are at their most active. You can try placing citronella and lavender candles outside to ward off mosquitoes—these work by repelling with their scent.

3. Use a Mosquito Repellent Spray or Lotion

There’s nothing more annoying than finding yourself covered in mosquito bites after a day outside. Mosquito repellant sprays and lotions are available at most stores and can help keep you from itching, as well as keeping mosquitos away. Mosquito repellant sprays are suitable for clothing, while lotions work best on skin. These products often contain deet, which is a potent insecticide that will repel mosquitoes and ticks, fleas, and ants.

4. Remove Any Standing Water 

Standing water in birdbaths, pet water bowls, and even puddles can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Mosquitos will lay their eggs in these places, and then the eggs will hatch into larvae. If you remove this standing water, you can prevent them from breeding. Mosquito larvae are typically transparent in colour, making them difficult to see in your backyard if they’re present.

5. Contact a Professional Exterminator

The best way to prevent and get rid of mosquitos is to enlist the services of a professional exterminator.  The team at Newcastle Pest Exterminators know the best ways to get rid of mosquitos. They can not only be a nuisance, but they are also carriers of diseases. Mosquito bites often leave itchy welts on your skin which is why you should always avoid getting bitten by mosquitos if possible. Our expert exterminators can also provide treatments and offer advice about preventing them from coming back. 

Get Rid of Mosquitos in Newcastle 

It’s no secret that mosquitoes are the bane of every summer. They bite,  carry disease and wreak havoc on your outdoor enjoyment time. That said, there is hope! You can protect yourself with a few simple tricks to keep mosquitos away from you this season. The above methods are tried-and-true ways to reduce mosquito infestations in your home or yard all summer long.
