Enjoy A Connecticut Summer Without the Mosquitoes
Spending time outdoors is what the summer is all about. Even on the warmest and loveliest Connecticut summer days, a big drawback for many around dawn and dusk is the onslaught of mosquitoes.
No one likes mosquitoes, but they are an inevitable part of the summer. Mosquitoes not only cause painful and itchy bites but they also carry a variety of diseases like West Nile Virus and EEE that can put you in the hospital. Keeping mosquitoes away from your skin is an important part of enjoying the summer safely - but you don’t have to go inside!
In addition to wearing clothes that cover your skin, there are a number of other ways to keep mosquitoes from breeding in standing water near your home or flying near your outdoor gathering that Country Paint and Hardware can offer you. Depending on how long you are staying outdoors and where you are, there are many options to staying mosquito-free this summer.
Mosquito Dunk
If you want to keep mosquitoes at bay, you need to eliminate as much standing water as possible. When there is standing water you can’t eliminate, use something like a mosquito dunk to ensure that they cannot lay eggs in the water. Mosquito dunks work in all kinds of standing water and are completely safe and natural!
Flying Insect Trap
Creating a protected area where you can ensure safety from mosquitoes and all bugs is a great way to have some peace of mind while spending time outdoors. A powerful yet whisper-quiet vacuum fan sucks insects into a retaining cage where they will dehydrate and die. This trap has a coverage of about ½ an acre.
Mosquito Sticks
If you are spending time outdoors with friends and family and need something that will give you a few hours of protection from mosquitoes try these great mosquito repellent sticks! Just stick one (or a few) of these in the ground nearby and light them and they will burn for 3-4 hours keeping mosquitoes away.
