One of the best things about living in Florida is the beautiful weather and sunshine. But even the most perfect Florida day can quickly be ruined by one thing: mosquitoes. To get the most out of your back yard and to truly enjoy the best things about living in Florida, it is imperative to get those pesky mosquitoes under control.

3 Preventative Measures You Can Take to Control Mosquitoes

There are several things you can do to prevent mosquitoes from entering your yard and from biting you when they do.

• Eliminate water sources: mosquitoes can basically only breed in standing water, so it is imperative to dump any buckets or trashcans which have been accumulating rain
• Citronella Candles: make sure your candles have citronella oil in them, rather than just being citronella scented. These work best in smaller areas with little wind/air movement
• DEET Bug Spray: nobody likes it, but it works, and it’s better than being attacked by mosquitoes

It is important to do your own thorough research before trying any new mosquito control methods because there are a lot of products on the market, and not all of them work.
