Are you tired of constantly swatting mosquitoes away from your face and body? Luckily, there are a few things that you can do to reduce the number of mosquito bites you receive. First, you should wear clothing that is loose-fitting and made of tightly woven fabrics to help prevent mosquitoes from biting through them. The second thing you can do is apply insect repellent containing DEET and light citronella candles around you when spending time outdoors. Finally, one of the best ways to reduce the number of mosquito bites you get is by scheduling professional mosquito control treatments. Pros use powerful pesticides to significantly reduce mosquito populations around your property in Texas, which means less time spent swatting at pesky insects!
1. Wear clothes that mosquitoes can't penetrate.
If you want to reduce the number of mosquito bites you receive, then wearing clothes that cover up exposed skin is key. Mosquitoes have extremely small mouths and cannot bite through thick material easily; however, thin layers of fabric don’t offer much protection since mosquitoes can still penetrate those types of clothing. The secret lies in finding something in between: loose-fitting clothes made of tight-woven fabric. Jeans, closed-toed shoes, and thick, long-sleeve shirts are also helpful! Wearing this type of attire will provide enough coverage while also making it difficult for mosquitoes to break through.
2. Wear mosquito repellants and light citronella candles.
Applying insect repellent is a great way to reduce the number of mosquito bites you experience. There are many different brands of bug spray on the market today, but picking one that contains DEET or another EPA-registered ingredient that has been proven to deter mosquitoes is the best option.
Citronella candles are another way to deter mosquitoes from coming around you while enjoying an outdoor activity. These candles emit a scent that repels mosquitoes away from where they are burning, so if you light them during an event where mosquitoes may be present, then they will likely leave you alone as long as they continue burning.
3. Schedule professional mosquito control treatments.
Mosquito control treatments are an excellent way to reduce the number of mosquitoes on your property because professionals know exactly where these pests hide and breed. They utilize powerful insecticides to target areas where mosquitoes congregate and lay eggs, helping to drastically reduce their population on your property. Professionals will even come out multiple times to reapply the treatments to keep your property protected throughout the entire mosquito season.
