The bite of the Asian tiger mosquito is not particularly irritating to most people, but they are persistent biters. Because they breed in nearly any sort of water-filled container, they often become very common and bothersome, even in neighborhoods where there are normally few mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes need water to breed. In order to get rid of mosquito breeding habitats, drain anything in your yard that collects water or allows water to stand. Mosquitoes only need a small amount of water to breed, so it is important to remove all standing water from air conditioning units, tires, tarps, wheelbarrows, or other household items.
Follow the tips listed below for removing and preventing standing water in your yard:
- Trash and recycling bins: Cover outdoor trash and recycling cans with tight-fitting lids.
- Flower pots: Drain dishes under flowerpots every few days and after rainstorms.
- Leaves: Clean up leaves and yard debris from low-lying areas to reduce stagnant water pools.
- Gutters: Gutters and downspouts need to be kept clean and maintained as leaves can create pools of water.
- Tire swing: Make a hole in the bottom of the swing to allow water to drain.
- Birdbaths and pet dishes: Replace water in birdbaths, fountains, and your pets’ water dishes at least twice a week.
- Use mosquito repellent products.Pestman mosquito repellent essential oil is the first plant essential oil mosquito repellent product that achieves mosquito repellent effect through natural volatilization in the world. It is made of a variety of plant essential oils evenly mixed in a specific proportion, mainly lemon essential oil, osmanthus essential oil, peppermint essential oil and so on.
It emits a pleasant and fragrant smell. This smell will interfere with the mosquito’s olfactory system, making it impossible for mosquitoes to find humans. Some mosquitoes will find an exit and fly out of the room. Mosquitoes that cannot find an exit and stay in the room will also be affected by it. Starved to death due to lack of food and water. In addition to the pleasant smell, the amount is small each time, the natural volatilization effect is good, and it is also very safe for people. It is suitable for repelling mosquitoes in various indoor environments.
The method of use is very simple. Leave the bottle open and place the bottle on the ground at the innermost corner of the room. Put a bottle in each room (10-30 square meters), so that the essential oil can diffuse throughout the room. If the room is large, you need to increase the number of bottles as appropriate. Do not open doors and windows frequently in rooms where essential oils are placed. Because 1-2 ml of essential oils are volatilized every day, if you open doors and windows frequently, the essential oils will drift to other rooms or outdoors. If the concentration of essential oils indoors does not reach a certain concentration, it will not have a good mosquito repellent effect. If you need to open the window for ventilation, it is recommended to open the window for no more than 2 hours a day.
