Mosquitoes have always been a nuisance. However, as we continue to learn, they are turning out to be much more than that.
It is nearly impossible to spend time in your beautiful yard when these flying little blood-suckers just won’t leave you alone. At a minimum they pierce your skin creating a mean red welt that leaves you scratching for days. At a maximum, they cause terrible illness that requires medical attention.
Why do mosquitoes like me so much?
Both male and female mosquitoes feed on flower nectar however it is the female who requires blood to produce her eggs, which is why we are so tempting to her.
Mosquitoes are intrigued by heat however did you know they are also attracted to the carbon dioxide that is released when people breathe? When it seems like they prefer one person over another, that is actually true. When a person’s heart-rate speeds up for whatever reason, that expels more carbon dioxide, which in turn brings out more mosquitoes. Unfortunately, not breathing is not an option.
What are my DIY options?
You can blow them away, spray mosquito repellent, light citronella candles or even wear tighter fitting clothes to make it more difficult for mosquitoes to find your skin.
These are all temporary fixes that may work for the moment.
