Mosquito Control

No one likes the idea of being bitten by mosquitoes, midges or gnats. Yet climate conditions, especially in Florida, are becoming increasingly more hospitable to mosquitoes. Bites are irritating and although not as painful as being stung. Mosquito bites are very itchy, causing a lot of discomfort.

When you reduce the opportunities of being bitten by mosquitoes, you greatly reduce the chances of irrigation from mosquito bites, possible allergic reactions and secondary infections from scratching.

Below are some simple tips:

• Indoor mosquito control: Limit the opportunity for mosquitoes to breed by removing stagnant / standing water in plant pots, vases, etc... and install insect screens, to windows and doors.
• Outdoor mosquito control: Check areas such as guttering for blockages that could leave pools of stagnant water or dregs in watering cans, over watered plant pots, outside pet water bowls even paddling pools and drain away the standing water. Cover water butts with fitting lids, to prevent mosquito larvae. if you have a pond, try adding goldfish who will eat the mosquito larvae.
