The aroma of these plants is such that mosquitoes will dread coming anywhere around these plants, and you will get spared the mosquito menace.

 

3. Eliminate the Stagnant Water

 

If you wish to prevent mosquitoes in the coming spring season, you must plan to stop their breeding on time. Whether you know it or not, but, many mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so try to keep areas in and around your house dry and without any standing water.

 

Check your drains and roofs for any requirements for repairs of water leakage. All these tips will help put a full stop to mosquitoes breeding inside or outside your home.

 

4. Install Mosquito Nets and Screens

 

Another useful hack to prevent the entry of mosquitoes into your home is by installing mosquito nets and screens on your doors and windows. These easy-to-install and readily available nets act as a strong barrier to mosquitoes and other flying insects. 

 

Mosquito nets are available in all sizes and shapes, especially, to help your little one stay protected when he or she sleeps. You can place them on your bed too at night time to enjoy full protection against mosquitoes in all seasons.

The world is mixed with a variety of people, some believe in the power of natural mosquito repellents, while some are keen on buying the ready-to-use mosquito repellents available in the market.

 

Options are galore when it comes to picking a mosquito repellent machine from the market, such as mosquito zapper, mosquito trapper, UV mosquito killer machine, liquid vaporizer, and mosquito-killing rackets or bats.

 

7. Book a Mosquito Pest Control Service

 

If nothing else meets your expectations, then consider booking a mosquito pest control service. In one such service, the trained professionals will detect and destroy the mosquito breeding grounds in and around your home.
