Mosquito Tips for Summer
The carefree days of summer are almost upon us: Balmy breezes, long days, family time and vacations are all part of the fun that kids of all ages look forward to each year. But mosquitos can put a damper on the fun of summer and can be unwelcome guests at your party. Those itchy bumps can range from a mild inconvenience to a big headache for those who have allergies. And with the prevalence and reality of vector-borne diseases such as Zika, West Nile virus and more, now is not the time to let the mosquito protection slide. We've put together some suggestions you can employ to minimize these buggy bothers around your home, campground and recreation areas - feel free to check out our guide to Mosquito Borne Illnesses as well here.
No Standing Water
Do you have standing water around your property, such as a planter that collected rainwater during that last cloudburst? Do you have a decorative fountain or a birdbath on your property? Lakes, ponds, kids' pools, rain gutters and plates under plants can all be breeding grounds for mosquitos. Even something as small as a bottle cap can provide the female mosquito with plenty of room to lay her eggs. Take a close look around the perimeter of your yard with a discerning eye and look for opportune areas that you eliminate.
Cover Your Bottom Half
Some biting insects go after ankles and feet; they are attracted to the sweaty, often bacteria-ridden areas around your toes. Although flip flops are the preferred footwear of summer, if you are outside when mosquitos are most active - such as at dusk - it may be worth wearing socks, long pants and sneakers.
Choose Your Clothing Carefully
When you are out, wear lightweight clothes that are light-colored and that cover your arms and your legs. Studies have shown that mosquitos are attracted to dark colors, so banish the dark colors in your wardrobe and opt for white or light-colored clothing.
