Eliminate standing water
Mosquitos breed in standing water, so eliminating any potential breeding grounds is a great way to reduce their population. Check your yard for any containers that can hold water, such as birdbaths, flower pots, and old tires. Dump out any standing water and turn containers upside down so they don't collect water.
Use mosquito dunks
Mosquito dunks are a type of larvicide that kills mosquito larvae. They're made with a biological insecticide called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti),which is safe for humans and animals. To use mosquito dunks, simply place them in any standing water where mosquitos might breed. The Bti will kill the larvae, preventing them from developing into adult mosquitos.
Apply essential oils
Some essential oils have natural mosquito-repellent properties. To use essential oils as a mosquito repellent, mix a few drops of your chosen oil with water in a spray bottle. Shake well and spray around your home, paying special attention to areas where mosquitos are likely to congregate, such as doorways and windows.
Here are a few essential oils that are effective at repelling mosquitos:
- Lemon eucalyptus oil
- Tea tree oil
- Lavender oil
- Peppermint oil
- Citronella oil
Use fans
Mosquitos are weak fliers, so a strong breeze can help to keep them away. Keep your fans running on high speed when you're spending time outdoors. This will help to create a mosquito-free zone.
Wear light-colored clothing
Mosquitos are attracted to dark colors, so wearing light-colored clothing can help to make you less attractive to them. When you're going to be spending time in an area where mosquitos are present, opt for light-colored shirts and pants.
Stay indoors at dusk and dawn
Mosquitos are most active at dusk and dawn, so it's best to stay indoors during these times. If you must go outside, be sure to take precautions to protect yourself from mosquito bites.
Use a mosquito net
If you're sleeping in an area where mosquitos are present, use a mosquito net to protect yourself from bites. Mosquito nets are made of a fine mesh that prevents mosquitos from getting to your skin.
Seek medical attention if you're bitten
If you're bitten by a mosquito, it's important to seek medical attention if you develop any symptoms of a mosquito-borne illness. Symptoms of mosquito-borne illnesses can include fever, headache, muscle aches, nausea, and vomiting.
If you're looking for a safe and effective way to get rid of mosquitos fast, try out some of the tips listed above. By eliminating standing water, using mosquito dunks, and applying essential oils, you can create a mosquito-free zone in your home and yard.
