"From roof to foundation, we ' ve got you covered!" Mitigating mosquitos in your backyard Summer is on its way, which means so are mos- quitoes. The flying pests invade neighborhoods like an army, but they aren't just a backyard nuisance with bites that itch. They also can carry dangerous dis- eases, including West Nile Virus and Zika. Most regions of the U.S. have issues with mosqui- toes, but knowing preven- tion and mitigation mea- sures can stop them from mushrooming into a big problem, says Dr. Craig Stoops (www.mosquito-au- thority.com), a retired U.S. Navy medical entomologist and chief science officer at Mosquito® Authority, a mosquito control company. "People are unfortunate- ly attractive to mosqui- toes," Dr. Stoops says, "but there are numerous ways we can avoid the irritation and the potential danger of a bite. So much has to do with preparing your prop- erty and knowing how mos- quitoes thrive. "Some people are more susceptible to bites than others. Mosquitoes can be attracted to different chem- icals found in human skin. But just because mosqui- toes are an inevitable part of summer doesn't mean you're defenseless." Dr. Stoops offers five tips on reducing the appear- ance of mosquitoes and their bites: • Consider a profession- al service. Sometimes peo- ple prefer to do it them- selves when it comes to fix- ing home issues, but they later find that a persistent problem is often better left to trained profession- als. "Companies that spe- cialize in mosquito con- trol can effectively address the problem by implement- ing an entire program over a period of time, includ- ing follow-ups," Dr. Stoops says. "There is a science and strategy to a program, and it requires considerable knowledge of how to treat different types of yards in different regions of the country. A good company in this industry continually educates its people as well as the consumers on how to effectively stay ahead of the problem." • Get rid of standing wa- ter. Still water is a perfect breeding ground for mos- quitoes. Common places of standing water include: clogged drain gutters, cor- rugated drain pipes, bird baths, pet bowls, planters, trash and recycling bins, children's toys, and kid- die pools. "It is important to remain vigilant and re- move any containers and debris from your yard to lower the habitats available to mosquitoes," Dr. Stoops says. "A mosquito needs only about a tablespoon of water to lay eggs." • Use safe repellents. Repellents registered by the Environmental Pro- tection Agency have been reviewed and approved to pose minimal risk when used properly. "Some of the most effective ingredients commonly referred to in a repellent are DEET, Picar- idan, and oil of lemon eu- calyptus," Dr. Stoops says. EPA-approved repellents provide up to two hours of protection. • Dress appropriately. "Studies have shown that some mosquitoes are more attracted to dark clothing," Dr. Stoops says. "Avoid wearing lightweight, thin materials, which mosqui- toes can bite right through. Instead, opt for tightly wo- ven materials, like cot- ton, denim, nylon, or wind- breaker-type materials, which are more difficult for the bugs to penetrate. Clothing that provides UV protection is typically tight- ly woven and often protects against insect bites, too." • Keep your landscape clean. "Trimmed trees and shrubs improve a property's air circulation," Dr. Stoops says. "The in- creased air flow will physi- cally push mosquitoes out of that area and remove the environment they thrive in. Also, there are some gardening choices that can deter mosquitoes: ba- sil, lavender and catnip are all plants that mosquitoes don't like." "Many people just think of bug spray during mos- quito season," Dr. Stoops says. "The main idea should be to keep them out of your yard as much as possible. From there, considering summer is the time to get away, always prepare for your environ- ment, especially if hiking or camping."
