While mosquitoes can seem unavoidable in the summer, there are a number of simple steps homeowners can take to minimize their risk of attracting mosquitoes. Here are some tips you should use to make your Tulsa-area property as unappealing as possible to these buzzing, biting pests:
Eliminate any sources of standing water around your property that could serve as a potential breeding pool for mosquitoes.
Keep your yard clear of any toys or clutter that could create opportunities for water to build up, such as after rain.
Mow your lawn frequently to minimize the amount of moisture allowed to build up on the grass.
Repair holes in your outdoor screens to prevent mosquitoes being able to get to you.
Frequently run and clean fixed water sources like pools, fountains, planters, birdbaths, flower pots, etc.
Take out the trash and keep exterior receptacles clean, as they can build up water over time.
As always, the best way to prevent a mosquito problem is to face it head-on by employing ongoing proactive treatments that not only eliminate existing mosquitoes around your yard but also prevent new ones from taking their place. For that, you need the expertise that only Montgomery can provide.
