We all hate mosquitoes and what they do to our bodies. If you want to make sure mosquitoes stay out of your property, you have to first destroy their breeding and living ground. Keeping your property clean is the only way to achieve that. You have to make sure you do this, not in the least because mosquitoes carry all sorts of diseases, including some lethal ones. This is why your main focus should be on removing any standing water in or around your property.

If there are any uneven areas or holes around your home, they need to be filled. If you find holes in your driveway or in your home’s foundations, use concrete to fill them up. Next, you need to make sure that there are no containers with stagnant water anywhere. Make sure you look into your bathrooms and toilets in particular. Any canisters and pots that you want to keep should be stored in sheltered and dry locations. Even the slightest bit of water in these can attract mosquitoes. If you do not have an area to store your canisters where they are dry, either cover them or put them upside down. Make sure that you also target areas where rain water collects, siphoning these every other day at least. Also remove any tree stumps, because these are high moisture areas and mosquitoes love those. Make sure you also replace the water in a bird bath every week, and that it is properly cleaned. The same goes for your children’s paddling pools. Finally, keep a close eye on your pet’s water dishes.

Keeping your property clean is incredibly important to get rid of mosquitoes. If you mop your floors, you have to make sure you are particularly careful. If your floor is at even the slightest angle, water will end up collecting and mosquitoes will return. It is a shame that there is no way for you to get rid of all mosquitoes. However, keeping your property clean will make a very big difference. You should also be aware of mosquito repellant tricks that are out there. Always properly ventilate your home and consider using an air conditioning unit in your bedroom. You should also keep bedroom doors shut, to make it harder for mosquitoes to get in. You can keep mosquitoes away from your body by using citronella candles and spirals as well as other products. When they day finally comes that mosquitoes are eradicated, everyone will breathe a collective sigh of relief. Until that moment, however, we will have to keep on protecting ourselves in different ways.
