Get Rid Of Mosquitoes

Everyone wants to enjoy their backyard and time with family and friends on their property. It is hard to do so when you are constantly being bitten by pesky mosquitoes. Mosquitoes not only leave behind itchy bites, but can spread different diseases to you and your family. Even though mosquitoes are usually found outside, they can venture inside your home and easily bite you.

The best way to make sure these bugs are gone for good is by hiring a professional exterminator. There are other measures you can take if you feel your home needs more than a professional to help get rid of them.

Home Remedies

There are plenty of home remedies when it comes to keeping mosquitoes away. Even though home remedies are easy and the cheaper option to pest control there are no guarantees that your pest will disappear. If a technician comes to your home and sprays your property for mosquitoes they are guaranteeing you will not see this bug again or your money back.

One home remedy many people use is the use of herbs. Basil is a known herb to keep mosquitoes and other flying pests away from your home. You can leave a potted plant of this on your deck or porch to repel the mosquitoes from biting you and your guests. Some people even grow this plant inside their home which would help in keeping them out too. Rosemary is another herb many people use to keep mosquitoes away. There is even an old trick of putting some on the grill to make the smell more potent to the mosquitoes and other flying pests.

The great thing about having these herbs around is you can use them for cooking and other household activities like cleaning. One herb that many people don’t eat but use for cleaning and keeping bugs away is lavender. Bugs hate this smell and will easily help repel mosquitoes from your home. You can even add this herb to an already potted plant because it mixes well with other. This can create a beautiful arrangement outside and give off a soothing smell.

Professional Exterminator

The best way to make sure mosquitoes are gone for good is by hiring a local pest control company. This company will make sure your bug problems are put to rest so you can enjoy your cookout or time by the pool. No one wants to get bit by mosquitoes when they are just trying to have fun with their friends. A technician from the pest control company will go out and inspect your property. They will make sure the right treatment is chosen for your yard to make sure the mosquitoes are gone for good.

They use a special backpack blower to ensure the chemicals are spread on your entire property. This is important because of how fast mosquitoes can reproduce and spread to invade all the parts of your yard. Even though the professional treatment will cost more than home remedies, it is guaranteed to work and will protect you and your loved ones from the diseases that mosquitoes bring with them.
