Minimize Your Mosquito Exposure In Costa Mesa, CA

Common Costa Mesa pests like mosquitoes that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are most active in the warmest months of the year and are known for leaving behind itchy red welts when they bite. The best way to minimize your mosquito exposure is to reduce factors that may attract them to your property. Implement the following mosquito prevention tips to make your Costa Mesa property less appealing to mosquitoes: 

• Replace the water in your birdbaths every two to three days.
• Clear your gutters of debris and ensure they are draining water away from your foundation.
• Eliminate all sources of standing water on your property.
• Fill in low-lying areas of your lawn to prevent water from building up.
• Wear insect repellent when you go outside and avoid spending time outdoors during dawn and dusk. 
• Trim your grass short and cut tree branches, shrubs, and hedges away from your exterior walls.

Mosquitoes depend on stagnant water sources to breed and lay eggs, which is why reducing water sources greatly reduces mosquito populations around your Costa Mesa property.
