If you live in Maryland, you know that mosquito season can be a real pain. Not only are these little pests annoying, but they can also carry diseases like Zika and West Nile Virus. That’s why it’s important to take steps to control mosquito populations around your home. Here are a few things you can do to help control mosquitoes on your property.

First, make sure you don’t have any standing water on your property. This can be mosquito breeding grounds. If you have bird baths, kiddie pools, or other containers of water, be sure to empty them out regularly.

Second, consider using mosquito traps. These devices can help to reduce the mosquito population on your property.

Third,  You can also use mosquito-repellent products to keep them away from your skin. Look for products that contain DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. And be sure to follow the directions on the label carefully.

Finally, contact a pest control professional  if you have a mosquito problem that you can’t seem to solve on your own. They can help to identify the source of the problem and recommend a course of action. Mosquito control is important for keeping your family safe and comfortable, so don’t hesitate to take action if you’re having trouble with mosquitoes.

So if you’re tired of dealing with mosquitoes, be sure to take action to control them this summer. Your skin will thank you!
