Top Tips for Keeping Mosquitoes at Bay in Central Florida

Mosquitoes are one of the most persistent pests in Central Florida, thriving in the region’s warm, humid climate. Not only do they ruin outdoor activities with their bites, but they can also carry dangerous diseases like West Nile virus and Zika virus. Reducing mosquito populations around your home is key to creating a safer and more enjoyable outdoor space.

Here are some practical steps you can take:

• Eliminate Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so regularly empty containers, unclog gutters, and change the water in birdbaths.

• Maintain Your Yard: Trim overgrown bushes and mow your lawn frequently to reduce shaded areas where mosquitoes rest.

• Install Screens and Use Repellents: Ensure windows and doors are fitted with fine-mesh screens, and use insect repellents containing DEET when outdoors.
