By and large, mosquitoes are considered a nuisance by every member of the family, as they are known for causing more harm than good. This is without forgetting various diseases that they transmit to human beings. In this regard, it is not an exaggeration to state categorically in this article that the remedy to such misfortunes caused by the mosquitoes can only be minimized if they are gotten rid of, especially in the backyard. The following are some of the guidelines to employ in ensuring that mosquitoes are eradicated at all costs:
First and foremost, ensure that all types of habitats that attract mosquitoes are done away with. These include still or stagnant water and woodland, where they lay eggs and also find shelter and food respectively. For the stagnant water that is seen to be of great help in the home, such should be treated with insecticides which help in keeping off the mosquitoes. In as much as this may not work excellently, one must understand that this move helps regulate the number, as it destroys the life cycle of a mosquito-killing both the egg and larval stages.
In the yard where there are planted trees, mosquitoes are known to dominate such places. Using a mosquito repellant can also be a remedy to such a menace. This should be done on regular basis and when the weather is still calm like in the morning and/or evening.
In the case of a backyard that has a constructed pool, it is important to ensure that such a pool is covered when it is not being used. Either way, treating the pool is equally advisable as this helps in regulating egg hatching processes.
Lastly, in places that are known for still or stagnant water, constructing proper drainage channels is the best remedy. This as a matter of fact will see such water being led away thus regulating the mosquito breeding trend. These are just, but to mention a few.
