It’s never fun to have mosquitoes constantly buzzing around your yard. Still, when it comes to fending off these invasive pests, there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Several products on the market claim to help you fight mosquitoes, but not all of these products can live up to these claims. We’ll go through some common deterrents to separate fact from fiction. And for dependable relief from mosquito infestations, our mosquito prevention company utilizes proven treatments to protect our neighbors located all over the Delray Beach, FL area.
Here’s a closer look at some common mosquito deterrents and if they work or should be avoided:
What Works
DEET – If you’ve used a mosquito repellent spray or lotion, there’s a good chance it was a DEET product. This ingredient is extremely prevalent in mosquito repellent products due to its effectiveness in keeping mosquitoes off your skin and clothing.
Picaridin – Picaridin is similar to DEET in how it’s used and how effective it can be. However, because it hasn’t been available for use in the United States for as long, it’s not as popular as DEET.
Mosquito Traps – Mosquito traps come in all different shapes and sizes. They generally fight mosquitoes using bait to lure them in and trap them. While these traps can effectively eliminate significant numbers of mosquitoes, they can be expensive.
What Doesn’t Work
Sonic Devices – Some devices claim to fight mosquitoes by emitting the same sounds as the sounds made by dragonflies. However, these products should be avoided as there’s no evidence backing up the claim that dragonfly sounds deter mosquitoes.
Wristbands – Whatever their claims may be, pest repellent wristbands only protect your wrists and should be avoided.
Citronella Candles – While Citronella does have some pest repellent qualities, it’s largely ineffective as a candle.
