ECI offers some tips on how to deal with those annoying mosquitos!

/in ,

Mosquitos. We love to hate ‘em.  And recent weather conditions have been perfect for the annoying little guys. ECI shares some tips on how to keep them out of your yard and off of you.

  • Burn a little sage or rosemary over coals to repel mosquitoes.
  • To keep mosquitoes to a minimum, eliminate their breeding sites on your property. They need standing water to lay their eggs in, so empty those puddles, old cans, buckets, and plant pots. If you have a pond, don’t worry—dragonflies love ponds, and they are a big mosquito predator.
  • It is thought that certain plants repel a broad spectrum of insects. Marigolds, chrysanthemums, asters, and pyrethrum daisies, as well as herbs such as basil, anise, and coriander, are all thought to repel insects.
  • Add a bat house to your home! Did you know that one small brown bat can eat as many as 600 mosquitoes in one hour?
  • Be aware that using pesticides to get rid of mosquitoes can also harm more beneficial bugs like fireflies and dragonflies. Try some home remedies before making that decision!
  • Light a citronella candle or torch.
  • Plug in a fan and point it at your porch or deck seating area.
  • Utilize insect repellent. There are some fantastic natural alternatives on the market.

And last but not least, stay indoors during heightened activity hours between dusk and dawn.
