When Do Mosquitoes Come Out?
The time of year that most people are waiting for is the warmer months such as spring and of course summer. This is a great time to come out and enjoy outdoor activities such as swimming, biking and camping. The problem is that mosquitoes are out in this same weather as well. They are waiting for the right atmosphere and temperatures to be able to flourish and survive. The warm weather makes that possible but that means that as you are out in the outdoors they are as well. It is a good idea to know what is attracting them and what you can do to stay away.
What Attracts Mosquitoes to Homes & Yards?
There are some things you are doing that can and will attract mosquitoes while other things are not avoidable. The color of the clothes that you are wearing can attract mosquitoes while how you smell can also be attracting them. The other things that are not controllable happens to be your blood type. This is what you are born with and no matter what you do you may be bitten more than other people.
How to Prevent Mosquitoes in Your Yard?

They also are prone to be around water that is sitting stagnant. You also will start to see more mosquito’s right after rain. The rain runs off lots of the birds and other insects that feed on mosquitoes giving them the best chance to invade a particular area. Remove standing water and call a professional pest control company that can treat for mosquitoes to keep them out of your yard. You may also want to keep some bird feeders around your house so that they can feed on mosquitoes that are in your yard. Birds eat many bugs and pests including mosquitoes which is a great way to control them.
