How do you keep mosquitoes out of your yard?
Firstly, you want to make sure that your yard isn’t an enticing breeding ground for mosquitoes, so make it a regular practice to get rid of any standing water that may have collected. This can be in the tiniest places, from the cap of a soda bottle. So anywhere that water may lay standing, you want to get rid of it. You can also add plants to your yard that repel mosquitoes. There’s a few listed in the following article.
Most insect-repelling plants do so with their natural fragrances, which keep annoying mosquitoes away and introduce wonderful scents throughout your garden. Place these plants in areas where guests will be often such as by a seating area or a doorway. Throughout the years, mosquitoes have transmitted many diseases including malaria, dengue, yellow fever, encephalitis, and more recently the West Nile and Zika viruses. Mosquitoes are even to blame for heartworm in dogs. So it isn’t just about the annoyance or the itchy bite, it is a health concern for your family and pets.
