How to Prevent Mosquito and Tick Bites

Bug bites from ticks and mosquitoes are becoming increasingly dangerous. With more cases of Lyme disease from tick bites and Zika virus and West Nile becoming more common from mosquito bites, it’s more important than ever to make sure you and your family are protected.

To prevent getting mosquito and tick bites in your yard, you must take the crucial step of removing any chance of attracting them. In general, to prevent mosquito and tick bites, you can always wear long clothing, use tick and mosquito repellent, and call Delta Pest Services for professional mosquito and tick control.

Tips for Preventing Mosquito Bites

Mosquitoes are no stranger to the Southern Louisiana area. The warm, humid temperatures are highly attractive to these biting bugs, but that does not mean you should be a victim of one of their stinging bites.

• Remove standing water around your home: Areas with standing water, even water collected from objects in your yard, are ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Birdbaths, buckets, and old tires are all examples of objects around the yard that can hold water for mosquitoes to breed. Be sure you dump out water from items around your yard after it rains to eliminate sources of standing water
• Treat outdoor water sources: For people with pools or ponds, it might be harder to remove standing water sources from your yard. Instead of draining your pool, keep up with the pool maintenance and chemical balance. For ponds or lakes, maintain them with a specified treatment approved for groundwater, or hire a pest management company to do it for you. Treating your ponds or lakes will create an unsafe environment for mosquitoes while still keeping them safe for other animals and plants
• Avoid wearing perfumes or certain lotions: Mosquitoes detect humans and animals to prey upon based on scent. While some people tend to attract more mosquitoes than others based on biological makeup, there are scents you can avoid to help prevent attraction. Perfumes, colognes, and even moisturizers with floral scents can make you a bigger target for mosquito bites, so avoid these when you can

Tips for Preventing Tick Bites

Tick bites can be a little trickier to prevent because they are so small (about the size of a poppy seed) and harder to detect than mosquitoes. However, there are ways to minimize the risk of tick bites happening around your home.

• Maintain a healthy yard: Ticks thrive in tall grasses and shrubs, as well as areas with shade. Keep your lawn mowed to keep the grass low, and remove leaves and other debris to give your yard as much sunlight as possible
• Keep your clothes tucked in: As mentioned earlier, ticks are extremely small and hard to notice. Ticks are also sensitive to heat and dryness, which will make them more likely to crawl under your fabric to protect them from the beating sun. If you're going through the woods or other tick-infested areas, be sure to tuck your pants into your socks and your shirt into your pants
• Dry your clothes as soon as you go inside: Ticks not only latch onto skin, but they go for clothing too. Because ticks are vulnerable to dryness, throwing your clothes in the dryer as soon as possible is the best way to remove and kill the ticks lingering on your clothes. Throw your clothes in the dryer right away for about 10 minutes. If they need a wash, be sure to use warm water to effectively kill the ticks
