Hurricane Dorian Mosquito Tips   arrow

It’s another year in Florida and a hurricane is bearing down on us once more. But there’s more to worry about in the Tampa area than just wind and rain. Every mosquito from Miami north is going to be blown to our side of the state. And after that, all of the stagnant water is going to be a dream breeding ground for them. That’s why today, we’re going to cover some Hurricane Dorian Mosquito Tips for prevention.

Hurricane Dorian Mosquito Tips: The Basics

This first tip should be no surprise to anyone familiar with this parasite. Mosquitos breed in water and can do so in just 14 days. So make sure you dump out any standing water near your home and remove anything that it can build up in. And if you live near a pond, add some mosquito-eating fish. Minnows, mosquito fish, and guppies will all do the job.

Another hurricane Dorian mosquito tips to keep in mind is to keep mosquitos outside Make sure to use screens on your windows and AC to keep them outside. Even if you can’t stop them from all getting in, you can keep out the majority of the swarm. Also, repellent is another way to go. Just make sure to watch out for skin irritation and avoid spraying yourself around the eyes or mouth. Concentrate the spray on your ankles, feet, lower legs, and wrists. These spots all have thinner skin and mean mosquito-like to bite more.

If All Else Fails?

Once the hurricane passes and everything settles, you may need to contact a specialist to help you with the swarms. Feel free to visit our website and look into our mosquito smack program, made specially during a visit to your home to suit your specific needs and those of your home.
