But the reality is often that mosquitoes swarm in groups and bite crazily, making it impossible for people to stay!

You may have tried various mosquito repellent sprays, mosquito coils, and electric mosquito swatters, but mosquitoes still stubbornly hover in your yard.

In fact, 99% of people ignore that the yard environment is the real reason why mosquitoes stay!

1. Is your yard a "mosquito paradise"?

✅ 1. Is there stagnant water in your yard?

The favorite "birthing room" of mosquitoes is still water, because their larvae (wrigglers) must grow in water.

Water in the bottom of the flower pot
Rainwater in buckets, old tires, and discarded containers
Small puddles on the ground of the terrace or courtyard
Clogged drains

Solution: Clean up the stagnant water every week, fill the low-lying areas, and raise a few small fish in the pool, which will eat mosquito larvae.

✅ 2. Do you have plants that mosquitoes like in your yard?

You may not know that some plants will attract mosquitoes!

Aquatic plants (such as water lilies and water hyacinths) - easy to accumulate water and become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Nectar-rich plants (such as tuberose and jasmine) - mosquitoes not only suck blood, but also nectar.

Solution: Plant mosquito-repellent plants, such as lemongrass, mint, lavender, basil, etc., which can not only repel mosquitoes, but also beautify the courtyard.

✅ 3. Is your courtyard lighting a "mosquito trap"?

Mosquitoes are particularly sensitive to warm light and ultraviolet light and are easily attracted.

Traditional incandescent lamp
Ultraviolet lamp (such as some outdoor decorative lights)

Solution: Switch to LED yellow light, use solar mosquito repellent lamp, and reduce the use of garden lights.

2. Five ways to completely get rid of mosquito troubles in your garden!

1. Clean up stagnant water and cut off mosquito breeding grounds

Check the garden every week, clean up all stagnant water points, and raise a few small fish in the pool to let them eat mosquito larvae.

2. Plant mosquito repellent plants to create a "natural barrier"

Plant mosquito repellent plants such as lemongrass, mint, lavender, basil, etc. around the garden.

3. Change the lighting to reduce the attraction of mosquitoes

Switch to LED yellow light, avoid using ultraviolet lamps, and use solar mosquito repellent lamps.

4. Use natural mosquito repellent spray to protect your family from being bitten

Homemade mosquito repellent spray: Mix lemongrass essential oil + water and spray around the garden.

5. Install outdoor fans to physically repel mosquitoes

Mosquitoes have weak flying ability, and fans can effectively interfere with their flight.
