Cape Fear, North Carolina, is known as the Hollywood of the South, due to many of your favorite shows and movies being filmed there. Between the movies and the historic Civil War sites, countless people flock to Wilmington and surrounding spots to take in the beauty of the place. Others who love the area are flying insects, especially mosquitoes. That's why residents should know how to stay outside for as long as they want and know they have a partner in MosquitoNix if they need backup.
You think of your backyard as your little oasis. It's a place to get away from the hustle of the world, where you can relax as freely as you want. Others agree-and mosquitoes and various flying insects can't wait to make a cozy home in your yard, either. Knowing ways bugs take over your yard is a huge step in keeping them away.
Things Bugs Love- Standing water, even a few tablespoons
- Damp, moist, shady areas
- Tall grass and unkempt greenery
- Play equipment or outdoor furniture near the yard edges
Know what mosquitoes love and live for, and take it away to prevent them from controlling your outdoor space. Mosquitoes and other insects thrive, breed and lay their eggs in dark and moist spots. Anything with standing water is a bug breeding ground. Tip over and dry out all areas that could collect even a few tablespoons of water. Look for pet bowls, toys left out and any yard furniture for water. If you keep firewood or other items outside, keep everything neat and tidy and as dry as possible.
Doing yard work is a great form of exercise and allows you to get your daily vitamin D, so get out there. A clean yard makes all the difference when it comes to bugs. Mow your grass regularly and keep it as short as possible, but don't forget about other greenery. Tree limbs, bushes and other areas need to be trimmed.
If you have a smaller space, keeping everything in your yard might be a challenge, and you may put things to the end of the yard. But doing that, especially if your yard hits any area with trees or woods, gives the bugs a place to hop from there to here. Bring everything in closer to the house.
Keeping the outside bug-free is important, but remember to check the inside of your home. When bad weather hits, mosquitoes want to get out of the rain and wind just like you do. But a few simple and easy boxes to check will make it hard for the bugs to find a safe space inside your house.
- Seal all cracks and holes around windows and doorways
- Check all screens for tears or rips
- Dust regularly
- Mop floors often
