It is still that time of year when mosquitoes in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland are out for our blood! And they aren’t showing signs of stopping just yet which means that we need to continue to prevent them from taking over our backyard as well as leaving us with itchy, red welts. And although it is pretty much impossible to get rid of every last mosquito, there are plenty of ways in which you can prevent them from taking over the backyard and eating you alive when you are out this summer.
When it comes to the backyard, the main issue is removing any source of standing water which is what mosquitoes need to breed. When they have no place to breed, they will not be as large of a problem and you will actually be able to enjoy your backyard.
Since we are often on the go during the summer, mosquitoes are not just a problem in our backyards. They find us on hikes, camping trips, at the lake, and pretty much anywhere you travel. So to help prevent mosquito bites while you are enjoying the outdoors, here are some more useful tips:
By following these tips, you will be able to really enjoy your time outside this summer and into the fall rather than spending it flailing your arms and running away from mosquitoes. Keep in mind that not only are their bites itchy and irritating, mosquitoes can also transmit diseases such as West Nile virus.
