Mosquito Yard Treatment in Hilton Head: Complement Our Service with Plants

You may know that plants have a number of natural benefits, such as medicinal properties. However, you may not realize that certain plants can also play a role in your strategy to ward off annoying mosquitoes. At Mosquito Hunters™, our mosquito yard treatment specialists help keep local homeowners in Hilton Head abreast of the many measures they can take to keep these widespread insects at bay. In addition to providing you with ongoing treatments that will decimate populations of these pests near your home, we can also advise you on making changes that will make your property less attractive to mosquitoes and other critters.

Incorporate These Plants Into Your Yard in Hilton Head

Examples of landscaping changes we may suggest that you make include cutting back shrubbery, keeping your turf trim, and draining sources of standing water. In addition, we can recommend that you incorporate specific plants into your landscape. For example, the following plants are known to have mosquito-repelling qualities:

• Catmint. You may know catmint as catnip and be familiar with the funny effects it can have on cats. In contrast to being a treat for felines, catmint is less appealing to insects and can be planted with the purpose of keeping mosquitoes far from your outdoor living area.
• Bee Balm. Bee balm is a colorful flower that is also called horsemint and can be crushed to release aromatic oils. While it attracts certain bugs such as bees and butterflies, it deters mosquitoes.
• Mint. Keeping mint planted near your outdoor area will mean you always have a few leaves on hand to make some fresh tea as well as peace of mind that mosquitoes will be less likely to want to visit your patio.
• Floss Flower. Floss flower, also called ageratum, is an annual flower that works great as a container plant and contains coumarin. This chemical is known to repel mosquitoes, but can also be toxic to pets, so beware if you have dogs or cats that might nibble on it.
