Smithereen offered great tips to prepare for the hot, humid, mosquito-laden summer months. Here, our team of pest experts offers additional suggestions for preventative measures to keep those mosquito bites from happening in the first place.
Understanding how mosquitoes behave and how to prepare for their inundation is one thing but knowing how to prevent bites properly is another. So, what should you do to keep mosquitoes from biting?
Pest Control Companies in Carmel:Avoid moisture and use mosquito repellents
Mosquitoes are attracted to moisture and heat, so when our bodies give off moisture and heat, they become more attracted to us.
There’s not much that we can or should do about sweat – so, how do you prevent mosquito bites during those sweatier times, especially when you’re enjoying the outdoors?
- First, wear repellent before going outside and remember to reapply it as needed. Typically, the brand of repellent that you’ve purchased will provide guidelines for reapplication.
- Drying off after sweating a lot can also be beneficial and may be an obvious and overlooked tactic for many people participating in physical activity outdoors during summer months.
- Remembering to apply repellent to clothing can be helpful, as well.
Mosquitoes are a pest: they will try to sneak in and get after what they want as soon as they possibly can. Remembering to protect your body and avoid moisture takes active engagement and awareness – even if going outside briefly, remember to protect yourself from mosquitoes to prevent bites.
