Other Natural Mosquito Control Tips
1. Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Regularly empty buckets, flowerpots, and birdbaths to reduce their breeding grounds.
2. Plant Mosquito-Repelling Herbs
Grow herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint around your home. These plants naturally repel mosquitoes while adding a touch of greenery.
3. Use Coffee Grounds
Sprinkling coffee grounds in standing water prevents mosquito larvae from developing into adults.
4. Burn Natural Oils
Use citronella candles or essential oil diffusers to keep mosquitoes away indoors and outdoors.
5. Install Screens and Nets
Ensure doors and windows have screens, and use bed nets in areas with high mosquito activity.
