The Mosquito Control and Treatment Tips
It's officially springtime! We can't wait to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather once the winter ends and the temperature starts to rise — not to mention, the first few weeks of spring are really beautiful! However, despite all of the positive aspects of spring, there is one irritation that comes with the season: mosquitoes. See here what you should do as mosquito treatment.
Mosquitoes are in the air as well as spring!
Mosquito season in Oklahoma runs from roughly now until the first cold in November. Culiseta mosquitoes first begin in Oklahoma in March, with the bulk of adult mosquito species coming from April to June, particularly after spring rains.
Mosquitoes can put an end to any outside activity and enjoyment. Mosquitoes are not only bothersome because of their continual buzzing and red itchy bites, but they can also carry dangerous diseases and viruses like West Nile.
Eliminate mosquitoes from your yard
If you want to enjoy your backyard fun in spring and summer without the constant nuisance — and potential viral threat by those insects, here are some mosquito treatment strategies that might make your yard mosquito-free this spring!
Remove Mosquito Breeding Sites
While you may already be aware that standing water is the ideal environment for mosquitoes to grow, you, like many other homeowners, may be unaware of how little water they truly require to do so. It might be difficult to eliminate all sources of standing water in your yard, therefore it's crucial to be aware of some of the most prevalent sources you might not be aware of, such as:
Buckets
Flower vases
Grill hoods
Leaked hoses and spigots
Trash cans
Tires
Tarps
Boats
Keep the lawn mowed as short as possible.
If you haven't done so already, you'll soon be pulling the mower out of the garage to mow the lawn. Tall grass is not only a fantastic resting location for mosquitoes, but it also creates a favorable environment for mosquito hatching by trapping moisture between the blades. This means that mowing your lawn on a regular basis is necessary to keep mosquito numbers in check. Remove rotting leaf piles and other yard waste that mosquitoes may seek refuge in, along with short kept grass.
Mosquito-repellent plants should be planted.
Whether it's flowers around the home or a garden, spring is the best time to start planting. Place mosquito-repelling plants while planning your landscape and deciding which plants to plant. Lavender, marigolds, lemongrass, and rosemary can be there into your landscape design to help ward off these insects.
