Know Your Enemy: What Mosquitoes Love (and How to Take It Away)
Mosquitoes are a Tampa Bay classic—unfortunately. Our warm, humid weather is perfect for them, and all it takes is a bottle cap of standing water for them to breed.
Here’s how to make your yard less inviting:
- Focus on source reduction: Dump water from buckets, toys, clogged gutters, birdbaths, and anything else collecting rain.
- Clear out yard junk: Piles of leaves, grass clippings, and unused flowerpots? Mosquitoes love that stuff.
- Look low: Even drainage areas, puddles, and plant saucers can harbor larvae.
Simple Ways to Fight Back (Before they Bite)
Prevention goes a long way. Here’s how to make your yard less mosquito-friendly:
- Trim it up: Overgrown grass and thick shrubs are shady hangouts for mosquitoes. A quick trim does wonders.
- Add a breeze: A good fan on the porch isn’t just for comfort—mosquitoes are weak flyers. Blow them away, literally.
- Implement natural repellents: Lavender, marigolds, and catnip not only look good but help repel mosquitoes naturally.
