Mosquito Prevention Tips for Lancaster Residents

There’s a handful of different steps you can take to make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes, preventing infestations and leading to lower numbers over time. Here’s a closer look at some of these strategies and how they contribute to a more enjoyable yard:

Clean Out Blocked Gutters

When leaves and other debris clog up your gutters and prevent water from escaping, it can block water from draining. As this water builds up, it can supply invading mosquitoes with a place to breed and expand their numbers. Cleaning out your gutters, especially after rainfall, can go a long way towards preventing mosquito infestations by minimizing standing water.

Change Outdoor Light Bulbs

We’ve all seen insects gather around light bulbs, but did you know that certain types of light are more attractive to insects than others? By switching out your standard outdoor light bulbs for specialized “bug bulbs,” you can make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes and keep their numbers lower over time.

Remove Standing Water Sources

Standing water that accumulates in trash can lids, puddles, lawn toys, and in other areas on your lawn provides mosquitoes with their preferred breeding grounds, especially when left unattended for long periods of time. Tidying up your lawn after rainfall prevents standing water from accumulating, taking away potential mosquito breeding grounds.
