The Most Effective Mosquito Control Products
Mosquitoes are Not Welcome
Nothing can send an outdoor party indoor as fast as the nips of mosquitoes. Finding mosquito control products that work effectively will depend on where and when a homeowner plans to use the product. For highly wooded areas near a water source, personal insect repellents will not be as effective as utilizing an additional method such as a mosquito trap. Traditional methods are becoming less effective when compared to the pest control products on the market available now. Mosquito lamps work, but note that the bugs that help you, like spiders or bees, will also be eliminated with these types of traps. Without just the right amount of bugs, homeowners can have an entirely different pest control issue. You could be hosting a variety of insect problems if there are fewer pest predators around your home and garden. To keep mosquitoes from biting and keeping a controllable balance of pests, you need to select the right pest control product!
It's Like a Remote Control!
Try to use the following alternatives in place of traditional mosquito control
- ThermaCELL Portable Mosquito Repellent Appliance: This is a wonderful alternative to the fumes and smell of traditional pesticides. Whether you are grilling outdoors, going camping or heading somewhere you suspect is thick with mosquitoes, this device has shown to be a highly effective mosquito control product. Butane powers this device, and so batteries, plugs and cords are not necessary. As this is completely portable and no bigger than a TV remote, this device has many advantages.
- ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent Patio Lantern: When a homeowner wants a mosquito control product that doesn't look like a mosquito control product, the patio lantern is a great option. In addition to acting as a mosquito repellent, this is also a great source of light.
- Coleman Mosquito Deleto: This device effectively lures mosquitoes and is a very portable trap. The trap uses carbon dioxide along with a chemical to attract mosquitoes. To have the most effective use, be sure to position this correctly.
- Skin So Soft by Avon: Who knew that a product meant to be a skin moisturizer could be one of the most effective personal mosquito control products? The company does not market the moisturizer as a mosquito repellent but it is well known to be an effective product that even smells great.
General spray insecticides that are available can help to repel mosquitoes. The most effective option for pest control can be a combination of personal spray and repellent device. If the environment is completely overwhelmed by mosquitoes such as in water or woody areas, no amount of mosquito repellent will be effective will do much.
What Won't Work
Of all the pest control products on the market, there are plenty that talk a good talk but many others that capture little more than a homeowner's money. Despite common measures used such as CO2, chemical bait and heat, the NOsquito Mosquito Vacuum has not been shown to be effective for overall trapping and repelling. Something that has been long thought to be a natural mosquito repellent are citronella candles. Tests have shown that there is negligible difference between citronella and regular candles. The heat of the candle and carbon dioxide that is emitted is what actually drives the mosquitoes away more than the citronella scent. The product's purpose needs to be clearly defined before buying. Some are made to eliminate mosquitoes while others are purely for deterrence. Repellent products will keep the flying pests out of the area where the product is effective but will do little for long term control. An exterminating product will kill the mosquitoes but does not always eliminate the source of the mosquitoes. Take into consideration how safe a product can be, especially with children or pets around the house.
