Repellents reduce the risk of mosquito bites in the garden.
Mosquitoes sometimes make their home in a garden, especially if the garden has an area with standing water. Draining or frequently cleaning items that hold standing water can prevent mosquitoes from breeding in your garden. Repellents can keep them away. Does this Spark an idea?
Foliage Sprays
Mosquitoes usually rest on foliage during the day and only come out during the night. Professional pest control companies can spray the foliage in the garden with a residual insecticide to prevent mosquitoes from using your garden as a resting area. This treatment lasts for four to six weeks.
Candles
Candles that contain citronella oil can produce a smoke that keeps mosquito away. However, these candles only protect areas where the smoke wafts, and wind can reduce their protection zone size and effectiveness.
Devices
Sonic, electronic and ultrasonic devices plug into electrical outlets and emit sounds like those of male mosquitoes and dragonflies that purportedly keep mosquitoes away. However, despite manufacturers' claims, these devices cannot repel mosquitoes effectively.
