OREM, UT MOSQUITO CONTROL

Picture
Mosquitoes are pesky, annoying, and dangerous. They are a flying insect that suck the blood from animals and humans. Because of this behavior they can carry and transmit certain diseases such as malaria or yellow fever. Mosquito bites can be uncomfortable and the threat of disease spread is reason enough to consider mosquito control products.
​
If you are looking to ramp up mosquito control backyard, front yard or around your pond, a mosquito control device may be effective. A typical property would only need one or two mosquito traps to work. These devices are capable of taking out thousands of mosquitoes and quite possibly eradicating the population of mosquito at your home.
These devices can be smaller up to a larger unit and may run on electric or propane. Place the device between the source of mosquito and where the people will be. The device gives off an odor that attracts the insect, but once they get close to the traps, fans capture and force them into catch bags or onto sticky boards where they die. This method of home mosquito control is very effective and covers a large area.
Another method is mosquito control products. This type of chemical insecticide is dispensed in a fog or low mist. Although it seems to have an immediate result, it is only temporary. As soon as the chemical wears off, mosquitoes will return. This can be in a time frame of 2-3 days or less if it rains. Use caution when applying an insecticide yourself.

DIY
A great starting point for mosquito control in your yard or property is with a mosquito control diy.
Citronella is effective in deterring the bug, however a large amount is necessary to make it effective. Candles work best because of the intensity of the candles. Live plants do not give off enough smell to work correctly, you would need an entire citronella jungle for it to work.
Mouthwash, dryer sheets, dish soap and garlic have all been rumored to be great as mosquito repellents but our research shows these methods do not work.

The best DIY mosquito control method would be prevention. Remove stagnant standing water from your property. Dump out pet bowls regularly, change the bird bath, clean puddles of water out of the garden. Once this is done, attack the adult mosquitoes with a trap and soon you will have eradicated your problem.
