Sick Of Mosquitoes? How To Make Mosquitoes Leave Your Yard.

Feb 16

Written By Mary Catherine Hooten

The key to mosquito control is breaking their life cycle early. Here’s what homeowners can do right away:

Dump and Drain

Walk your yard weekly and dump out standing water:

Empty plant trays
Refresh bird baths
Check gutters
Flip over toys and buckets

This simple habit can reduce mosquito populations dramatically.

Trim and Tidy

Keep grass cut short
Trim shrubs and hedges
Remove yard debris
Improve airflow and sunlight

Less shade = fewer places for mosquitoes to hide.

Treat Early in the Season

Many homeowners wait until mosquitoes are unbearable to act, but by then, they’ve already multiplied.

Starting treatments early in the season helps:

Kill larvae before they hatch
Reduce the population before peak summer
Keep your yard enjoyable all season long

Early prevention makes a huge difference.

When DIY Isn’t Enough

If mosquitoes keep coming back despite your efforts, it may be time for professional help. A targeted yard treatment can:

Treat breeding areas
Reduce adult mosquitoes
Create a protective barrier around your home
