How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes Outdoors: Practical Tips and Effective Products
As the warmer months approach, mosquitoes become a nuisance in gardens, terraces and other outdoor spaces. Fortunately, there are effective solutions to eliminate mosquitoes outdoors and ensure pleasant moments outdoors.
Why are mosquitoes attracted?
Before we get into the solutions, it’s helpful to understand the factors that attract mosquitoes:
● Standing water: Places such as plant dishes, untreated pools or forgotten containers accumulate water and serve as breeding grounds.
● Light: Some species of mosquitoes are attracted to artificial light sources.
● Smell: Sweat and CO2 exhaled by people attract mosquitoes.
Tips for preventing mosquitoes outdoors
1. Eliminate stagnant water:
Inspect your garden regularly and remove any containers or areas where water can collect.
2. Use repellent plants:
Species such as citronella, lavender and basil help to naturally repel mosquitoes.
3. Install screens and nets:
If you have a covered area, use mosquito nets to prevent insects from entering.
4. Appropriate lighting:
Replace traditional light bulbs with LED lights, which are less attractive to mosquitoes.
Effective products to eliminate mosquitoes outdoors:
To complement these measures, there are specific products that help combat mosquitoes more effectively. Here are some of our recommendations:
1. UV Mosquito Traps:
-
- Electrical devices such as mosquito repellent machines with UV attractants and LEDs are ideal for attracting and capturing mosquitoes in outdoor areas. The ultraviolet light attracts the insects and the attractant simulates the natural odors of humans. This attracts the mosquitoes and ends up being captured inside the device discreetly and efficiently.
There are several models of anti-mosquito machines, each of which varies depending on the desired range:
● Mosquito repellent machine with range up to 1,000m2 | Outdoor use only
● Mosquito repellent machine with 80m2 range | Indoor and outdoor use
In addition, we also have a new device that works through solar energy .
2. Sprays and aerosols:
-
- Use Mosquito repellent spray in areas most prone to mosquitoes. We have a natural repellent, based on essential oils from various plants, which creates an unpleasant olfactory barrier against midges and mosquitoes.
3. Insecticides:
the In case of more serious infestations, we recommend using Draker insecticide on the affected areas.
the The use of concentrated diptron will help in situations to eliminate mosquito larvae and prevent reinfestation.
4. Larvicides:
the Use larvicide to prevent mosquitoes from reproducing in areas with stagnant water. It comes in the form of effervescent tablets to facilitate its diffusion.
5. Citronella gel:
-
- Citronella gel helps to keep mosquitoes away, but also creates a pleasant atmosphere for outdoor events.
