The most effective way to control mosquitoes around your home is by emptying standing water and ensuring containers remain dry. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, which can develop into adult mosquitoes capable of biting in less than a week. You have the option to either remove the water or clean and replace it. In cases where water cannot be emptied, you can utilize a bacterial larvicide available in liquid, dunk, or granule form. These larvicides eliminate mosquitoes while being harmless to humans, plants, and animals. Always adhere to the instructions provided on the product label.
After rainfall, it is important to remember these common sources of mosquitoes in your backyard.
