MOSQUIT have identified 7 handy ways to naturally reduce mosquito exposure in and around your homes.
Why Mosquitoes love stagnant water
Mozzies need water to lay their eggs. Water is also required for mosquito eggs to develop. The type of water they need – well any kind of water: old, new, smelly, clean.
Is there somewhere in your backyard that holds stagnant water? If so, this could explain your mosquito problem.
How to naturally reduce mosquito exposure around your home
Remove water-holding rubbish around your house. This includes containers, open garbage bins or empty pots.
Cover the openings of tanks (rainwater or septic tanks).
Clear drains and gutters.
Fill the base of pot plants with sand.
Keep your lawns short.
Keep swimming pools well maintained.
Store anything that can hold water in a dry place, undercover.
If you are out and about in the garden, MOSQUIT clips are the perfect natural mosquito protection for personal use. You can clip it onto your pants, shoelaces, gardening belt or the back of your cap to keep your hands free. Feel safe with a 1 metre range of mosquito protection.
If you are having guests come over, you can provide each guest with a MOSQUIT patch/sticker. The patches/stickers are inexpensive and will provide your guests with protection for the whole body.
