No one likes to have mosquitoes flying around and biting them. These nasty, flying insects are known for the itchy bites they leave behind. But, while mosquitoes and their bites are annoying, they are more than just nuisance pests.
You can identify mosquitoes by the long, skinny appendage that the females use to suck blood. They have six, thin legs that give them a gangly appearance. Most species are usually a dark grey color although their exact markings and coloring can vary.
Mosquitoes are actually considered one of the deadliest animals in the world. This is because they act as carriers for many diseases, and they spread these pathogens from host to host. Mosquitoes are known to carry many of the worst illnesses known to humankind such as malaria, West Nile virus, Zika virus, and dengue fever.
While mosquitoes in Fort Worth, Texas are dangerous and frustrating to find around your yard, this guide will provide all the information you need to know about effective mosquito control.
Can Homeowners Control Mosquitoes On Their Own?
Some homeowners choose to try to reduce and remove mosquitoes around their property using DIY methods, but not all of these options are as effective as others.
The most effective ways to reduce mosquito populations involve getting rid of the factors that attract them in the first place, such as access to water sources and excess foliage.
- Removing standing water from your property.
- Cleaning out gutters to ensure rainfall can drain properly.
- Trimming hedges, bushes, and trees around the lawn.
But, many other chemical products homeowners buy, such as citronella candles, torches, and many mosquito sprays, just don’t work very well. While they might deter mosquitoes from biting you for a brief time, they don’t address or remove mosquito populations.
