Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, which makes prevention the single most effective tool in a yard — no spray beats simply removing their nursery.
Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquito eggs need still water to hatch, and it takes only about a week for a new generation to emerge. Empty and scrub anything that collects rainwater — plant saucers, buckets, clogged gutters, old tires — at least once a week.
Layer Your Defenses
Beyond eliminating breeding sites, our Mosquito Deterrent spray helps with the mosquitoes already in the area, and a small fan on a patio can keep them from landing at all — they're weak fliers and struggle against even a gentle breeze.
QUICK TIP
A birdbath needs its water changed every few days too — it's just as good a mosquito nursery as any bucket.
