7 Ways to Eliminate Mosquitoes After a Storm

We've all experienced those pesky mosquitoes buzzing around after a storm, which can be incredibly annoying. But fear not because we have fantastic tips to help you eliminate those bothersome bugs and regain control of your outdoor space. Whether planning a backyard barbecue or enjoying a peaceful evening on your porch, these seven tips will help you reclaim your mosquito-free zone. Strobert Tree Services proudly serves Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey by providing mosquito spraying services. So, let's dive in and bid those mosquitoes farewell once and for all!


Here are 7 tips to help you get rid of mosquitoes after a storm:

 

  • Remove standing water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so empty any containers, flower pots, or birdbaths that may have collected rainwater during the storm.
  • Clean your gutters: Clogged gutters can hold water and become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Make sure to clean them regularly to prevent water accumulation.
  • Use mosquito repellents: Apply mosquito repellent on exposed skin to keep mosquitoes at bay outdoors. Look for products containing DEET or other recommended ingredients.
  • Install screens: Protect your doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Repair any damaged screens to ensure they are intact and secure.
  • Trim your shrubs and trees. Mosquitoes like to breed in shady, moist areas. Trimming your shrubs and trees will help to reduce the number of mosquito breeding sites.
  • Use outdoor fans: Mosquitoes are weak fliers, so setting up fans in your outdoor areas can help disrupt their flight patterns and make it harder for them to land on you.
  • Call a professional mosquito control company. If you have a severe mosquito problem, a professional can help you eliminate them.

 

Remember, mosquitoes are not just annoying; they can also transmit diseases. So, taking these preventive measures after a storm is important to create a more mosquito-free environment.
