How To Eliminate Mosquitoes In Bucks County PA

By Derick Scartel


If you are bothered with mosquitoes in Pennsylvania you are not alone. At certain times of the year, these little pests can cause all kinds of problems with people and pets. These tips from your Bucks County PA mosquito control professionals can help you enjoy the outdoors like it was meant to be enjoyed.

Look around your yard for standing water. Mosquitoes love to lay eggs in water. It only takes a small amount in a puddle or perhaps an old pot or pan left out of doors. Make sure that the yard does not have any places for these insects to grow.

Mosquitoes may lay their eggs in wet areas of your property. For example, when you rake up leaves other materials, do not allow them to stay out in the yard for long periods of time. Instead, bag or burn leaves to keep mosquitoes from breeding. Also, turn tools like wheelbarrows over, when you are not using them.

You may not want to keep the lids on garbage cans all the time. However, when they are empty you can turn them upside down until you need them. You also may wish to drill holes in the bottoms of the cans. This will prevent rain water from collecting there and attracting mosquitoes.

After you check the yard, take a good look at your gutters and downspouts, and you may need to get up on a ladder to see inside. If you notice leaves, dirt, twigs, baseballs, or any items in your gutters, remove them promptly. Stopped up gutters are perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes and you may have no idea that they are living there.

Mosquitoes in Bucks County can carry a number of deadly diseases and there are about sixty different known species in Pennsylvania. In fact, West Nile Virus is a real possibility, as is hepatitis. To keep your premises clear of these pests, contact your mosquito control professionals. They offer guaranteed services for your home.
