Proven Mosquito Beating Battle Tactics

Mosquito’s become a true menace during the summer, but you don’t have to just sit there and take it. Marshal your forces and fight back this year with these proven battle tactics that will beat back the mosquito forces.

Make sure your walls are reinforced to keep out the mosquito soldiers. Screens on your windows will keep out those pests and still allow you to crack open your windows and enjoy that rare summer breeze. Screening in your patio is also a great way to create a mosquito free zone where you can still enjoy the outdoors and watch the sun set.

Do a thorough search of your yard in order to find any shallow pools of water where mosquitos could possibly lay their eggs. Look out for quiet, standing water left in birdbaths, toy pools, puddles, and other artificial ponds. Drain any water you see, as female mosquitos can lay eggs in as little as an ounce of water.

Whenever you go outside make sure to cover yourself in insect repellent. It may be sticky and smelly, but it will save you from being mauled by those vicious blood-suckers. If you are feeling particularly bloodthirsty, create your own mosquito traps to lure in unsuspecting female mosquitos and make them think they have a safe space to lay their eggs, which you will later dispose of, decimating your local mosquito population and giving you a distinct advantage in this all-out war.

Never give up! Never surrender!
