How do I prevent mosquitoes in the future?
The following natural ways to get rid of mosquitoes help prevent these pests from invading your property again in the future:
- Instead of bright and sweet-smelling flowers, opt to use plants and flowers that repel mosquitoes around your yard, like citronella, marigolds, and rosemary.
- Eliminate all areas of standing water on your property, as it only takes a few inches of water for mosquitoes to lay their eggs.
- Fix leaks and moisture problems on your property that might contribute to the moist and humid conditions mosquitoes love to be around.
- Cut back long grass, trim overgrown foliage, and remove piles of debris or woodpiles from your property to eliminate mosquito resting areas.

Are mosquitoes dangerous?
Though mosquitoes are small pests, they are fairly dangerous to encounter. There are several diseases you can get from mosquitoes, including the Zika virus, West Nile virus, malaria, and yellow fever. Not every mosquito is infected, but the more bites you receive, the greater your chances of serious health issues.
Additionally, mosquitoes may trigger allergy issues in some people, and bites may become infected due to bacteria on the mosquito. Swelling, pain, and fever are all signs that a mosquito bite needs medical treatment.

What are mosquitoes?Mosquitoes are species of small flies that belong to the family Culicidae. You can easily recognize them by their almost translucent pair of wings, thin-waisted bodies, and elongated mouthparts. Both male and female mosquitoes use their extended mouth parts to feed on plant nectar, and female mosquitoes also bite mammals to obtain blood meals. This blood is essential in developing mosquito eggs and continuing their life cycle.
