And, of course, their bites are itchy and annoying.
The good news is that there are ways to get rid of mosquitoes without resorting to toxic chemicals or losing your mind in the process.
3 Ways to Get Rid of Mosquitoes Naturally
There's no need to fill your yard (and your lungs) with harmful pesticides in order to get rid of mosquitoes. Try some of these natural methods instead.
- Remove standing water. This is perhaps the most important thing you can do to reduce the mosquito population in your yard.
*Even small amounts of standing water are enough for mosquitoes to lay their eggs, so get rid of any puddles, ponds, bird baths, or other sources of standing water on your property.
Empty and refill pet water dishes daily, and don't let rainwater accumulate in gutters or Flower pots.
2. Plant mosquito-repelling plants. Certain plants can help keep mosquitoes away from your home naturally.
*Some good options include citronella grass, garlic, marigolds, catnip, basil, and lavender.
You can also buy mosquito-repelling plants at most nurseries or online.
3. Use a natural insecticide. If you want an extra layer of protection against mosquitoes, try spraying your yard with a natural insecticide made from oils like lemon eucalyptus or rosemary oil diluted in water.
*You can also buy natural mosquito repellents at many stores or online retailers.
