Mosquitoes are some of the tiniest bugs but the biggest pests when trying to enjoy the outdoors. Their bites lead to itchy welts that itch constantly. For children, not scratching those welts can be particularly difficult. Scratching can lead to open sores that can easily get infected with bacteria, leading to more issues in the healing process.
Take a little time to look around your yard for breeding spots that are producing newly flying mosquitoes each day by the thousands. Any place that catches water where it is allowed to sit stagnantly is the perfect place for a female mosquito to deposit her 100+ eggs. Flip those buckets, pots, trays, kids’ toys over and let the water pour out so you won’t be hosting a breeding frenzy in your yard. Other ways to prevent mosquitoes from taking over your Bakersfield yard are:
When you call in the best pest control service to treat your yard, more than likely, they will install a barrier around your property by spraying insecticide on your foliage and shrubs along the perimeter so mosquitoes are killed on contact when they land in these shady spots to rest. This can be very effective at killing adult mosquitoes and cutting down on the number of mosquitoes in your yard.
Over the counter foggers and repellants can be purchased for your yard or personal use. Some people do not like the idea of spraying their bodies and clothes with repellants for fear of harmful effects.
