Are you ready to get rid of those mosquitoes around the house? very nice. But you have something to know about home mosquito control.
There are no products or tactics guaranteed to purify from your garden. And you can not get them all. It is not possible. The best thing you do is reduce the number of them and the probability of biting when you leave home decreases.
To achieve this, we need to combine several approaches. It involves looking for possible mosquito breeding sites around your home, attacking adult herds, preferably from making a garden so that you can not, or from mosquito traps to mosquito blowing.
It takes time and money, but you can relax outside your house when you are finished. You could possibly.
Effective mosquito control begins with a thorough check of potential battlefields.
Is your garden a mosquito breeding ground?
Please check all the doors and windows of your house with your presence. For all open windows, the screen must fit exactly. There is no gap around the edge, and it is a good repair state without any cuts or holes.
Same for the entrance. You need good screen doors for each one. When closed, the screen door fits snugly against the door frame and the screen should not be damaged so that mosquitoes can enter.
Of course they do not help anything, either by lifting the screen of the window with the window or leaving the door of the screen open when the door of the house is open. In the unlikely event that mosquitoes enter the house, you can always enter their home, so please be sure to put the screen in place.
Outside, you need to find standing water in both plain and less obvious places. Alameda County (Cal.) People in the Mosquito Control District represent it best on their website:
"The main rule for breeding mosquitoes is that water needs to stagnate in order to lay eggs. Main rules: If you can keep water for several days you can breed mosquitoes.
Female mosquitoes can lay eggs in small inches like water. So, look for these places where mosquitoes can breed:
- Tree Hole - Some mosquitoes cover the eggs in places with cavities of rainwater gathering rainwater. Since insecticides can remove a part of the tree, it is possible that it can hurt trees, so it can be difficult to deal with them. You can ask for help by consulting landscaping experts and tree service.
- Yard equipment - Even with an upright cart, an empty flowerpot, or an abandoned shovel you can put water long enough to grow mosquitoes. Please keep the equipment inside so that it will not rain. You have to drill a hole in the bottom of the container and go out, so you can drain it.
- Tarp - Even if it is covered with a bundle of firewood or boat, whatever kind of plastic or cover made of nylon will eventually hang down and a pocket is gathered to collect water. Tighten them where you can and check them frequently.
- toy - Rain will fill the toy tracks, tea cup sets, or frisbee lying in the lawn. It is the same for old-fashioned tire swings collecting stagnant rainwater, or old tires laid in the garden. Make sure the kids pick up after themselves and remove the tires.
- puddle - There may be small spots in the garden where the water accumulates and the drainage is slow. If water accumulates for more than a week at a time, mosquitoes will come out during the warmer seasons. Fill the spot, install a drain pipe, or change the landscape and keep the water away.
- Rain gutter - When drainage grooves in your house are clogged with debris, water may come back and stagnate. Regularly check the gutter. Please pay particular attention especially when heavy leaves are falling. Also, please push past the yard. The fallen leaves hold water and the mosquito seems to breed.
- Cage cage and swimming pool - Carry the hose to the tress of birds in a warm climate so as not to stagnate the water at least once a week. Turn the kids & stand on the wall when they are not using it. If you have a swimming pool, please clean it regularly.
OK, you took care of the garden 's still water. Now, since the mosquito wants to sleep in warm moist vegetation during the day, prepare mowing and bushes and periodically remove all the weeds from the flower bed. Give plants and plants adequate moisture and keep them healthy, but please keep them wet while avoiding it.
Disinfection of home's natural mosquitoes
Then you can add some to the garden to help organically control mosquitoes.
I have heard about Citrusa called "mosquito plant", but it was probably thought to repel mosquitoes miraculously. Unfortunately, that is not totally true. Studies of mosquito control show that Citrusa without disorder has little effect on people who cause troublesome bloody stools.
However, Citroza's leaves contain citronella oil. Citronella oil is a mosquito repellent. Some plants have oils and fragrances that are thought to stimulate mosquitoes, such as citronella · glass, lemon · time, catnip, rosemary.
Trick is that you have to crush the leaves to release mosquito repellent. It is not very effective as an active means, but it may be worth planting around your favorite places so you can rub mosquitoes by rubbing the leaves while you are outside.
This is also a good opportunity to think about a small decorative pond that will help eliminate mosquitoes.
If you already have it, as long as freshwater does not flow constantly, it is a good bet for mosquitoes to breed. The natural way to handle a pond for a mosquito is to store Gambia, which is known as a mosquito-eating fish.
Gambia Eat mosquito larvae, mainly wiggler on the surface. They grow to about 2 inches and do not have to worry. According to the entomologist at Rutgers University, there are relatively few mosquitoes in small ornamental ponds, about 35 to 100 sheets are sufficient.
Many local mosquito controlled areas will be offered for free as long as they are kept in places not connected to other water environments. Gambassia is a predatory fish and it is known to feed on other native young people.
On the other hand, if you do not have a pond, we recommend installing a pond. A precisely designed small ornamental pond feeds mosquitoes of both mosquito larvae and adults, so it is sometimes called "mosquito".
The British Dragonfly Society recommends that the pond be at least 130 square feet, but obviously it can be much smaller. It is protected from the wind and puts somewhere, but it is a place where you can get direct sunlight to keep the dragonfly warm.
Because the pond is deep one side at least 2 feet and the other shallow, dragonfly larva called "nymph" can diving if threatened by predators and crawl from the water once breeding.
Breed the pond with natural aquatic plants that emerge from the surface of the water, give larvae a place to rest and hide in the roots, young adults leave the water. We also plant shrubs nearby to encourage adults to hit.
Surround the pond with a flat, light-colored rock. Some dragonflies like to land on flat rocks to sunbine themselves.
Quick memo: Eat bats, so bats and purple Martin are also handy to carry around. But the researchers say they are wrong. Bats like other insects, mosquitoes account for less than 1% of diet. Purple Martin is partly dragonfly.
Mosquito spray and other attacks
I made your garden aiming at mosquitoes totally useless, so let's take a more aggressive action. Again, you need to use a combination of tactics.
One of them contains insecticides.
Bacillus thuringiensis israeliensis (Bacillus thuringiensis israeliensis) can be applied to the surface of the larvae oil to prevent breathing, the most effective larvaside, or larvae Standing water with products like Mosquito Bitz You can kill mosquitoes larvae in.
Adults are susceptible to mist and mosquito blows.
Foggers Heat the insecticide and release it in small quantities into the garden, contact and kill the mosquitoes, but fog and its effectiveness will be exhausted within hours. Spray of mosquitoes such as permethrin and bifenthrin lasts a little longer and can be used to coat where mosquito want to rest.
Spray grass, trees, bushes, wooden fences, house walls and dry. Toxin is a synthetic version of insecticide produced by chrysanthemum plant, contacting and killing mosquitoes by attacking the nervous system.
In most hardware and household goods stores you can find Larvaside, spray, spray.
Even if you do not believe in believing it, you will still keep a mosquito after this. Different tricks work in different species, and there may be tens of thousands of species of mosquitos from ten species that fly nearby.
To add the next protective layer, replace the ordinary bulb of ambient light with a yellow light bulb, greatly reducing the number of insects. Next, put the mosquito net in your garden, away from the deck, patio, or where you usually spend your time.
Mosquito traps mimic attractants attracting female mosquitoes to supply to the human body. They release carbon dioxide and octenol found in exhalation and sweat, and they release heat and light in a range designed to stimulate mosquitoes.
Traps can attract mosquitoes from more than 100 feet away, pass through fans, and put them in a container where they die. While comfortably sitting, mosquitoes are deceived away from you by another corner of the garden and quietly disposed of in your trap.
Within 2 months of executing the trap, it is expected that the local mosquito population will be greatly reduced because women will be drawn in without being brought in and laying eggs.
And that's it. We introduced a thorough comprehensive home mosquito management program. Let's challenge the mosquito a bit with DEET this time. You are not too careful. Please have a fun summer evening outdoors.
