What Attracts Mosquitoes?

Is your home more vulnerable to a mosquito infestation than most? 

Yes and no. 

The truth is that while certain factors can make your home a bit more attractive to mosquitoes, almost every property in America contains the mix of food, water, and shelter that makes for an ideal breeding space. Water fixtures like fountains and birdbaths can make for better breeding grounds, but overall, mosquitoes are more than happy to make their home in any space they find.

Your home may need to be protected from mosquitoes if:

• There are pools of standing water on your property
• Yard debris has been piling up
• Your drains or gutters are clogged
• Your landscaping is overgrown and unkempt

Preventing Mosquitoes and Their Bites

There are a few measures you can take to limit your property’s exposure to mosquitoes and your own exposure to their bites: 

• Dump any standing water collecting in outdoor areas, like buckets, birdbaths, tarps, and plant holders. 
• Put screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes outside or consider a mosquito net to hang over your bed.
• Use mosquito repellant with DEET.
• Wear long sleeves when spending prolonged periods of time outdoors.
