Mosquito Control in Upper Arlington: Pro Treatments vs. DIY Options

At Mosquito Hunters™, we know that the best approach to mosquito control is a comprehensive one. While you may be eager to try to tackle mosquitoes using DIY methods, you’re unlikely to get the level of protection you need to fully enjoy your outdoor space in Upper Arlington using these methods. Below, we’re taking a look at some of these popular DIY options and exploring what makes our pro treatments the better choice.

Common DIY Mosquito Control Techniques

You may be looking at trying out techniques such as the following in order to deal with the mosquitoes in your yard:

• Mosquito Traps. Mosquito traps can be made with everything from innovative UV light to more basic glue, or even plastic bottles and sugar water. While they may be effective at catching a few mosquitoes here and there, they don’t get to the root of the problem or hinder the breeding cycle.
• Essential Oils. Another DIY hack is to attempt to make a natural mosquito repellent using essential oils. The idea is that by choosing oils that produce aromas mosquitoes are known to dislike, these formulas can help keep them at bay. Of course, even if they do work, you’ll need to remember to apply them each and every time you go outdoors.
• Candles. Using a similar theory as with the essential oils above, many mosquito-repellent candles on the market make use of scents such as citronella, lavender, and lemongrass, which are thought to send mosquitoes fleeing in the opposite direction. Although they can help turn a swarm of mosquitoes into a handful, the remaining mosquitoes will still have the power to ruin your evening.
