ATLANTA, GA, July 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's summertime, the weather is warm, and the mosquitoes are out in full force. Mosquito Swipers, an Atlanta mosquito control service, is helping homeowners to enjoy their summer pest-free by informing the public on how to keep mosquitoes away from their homes and yards.
Reducing the mosquito population in your yard begins with reducing the breeding ground of these pests. Water is necessary for mosquitoes to breed, so eliminate any potential water sources such as puddles that habitually return or leaky outdoor faucets. Mosquitoes favor still or slow moving water to lay their eggs in, so monitor outdoor recycling containers, gutters, pools, drainage areas, and anywhere else where water may collect.
Controlling surrounding areas will also reduce the amount of bugs resting in the yard during the day. Tall weeds or vegetation offer an accommodating environment; mow the yard regularly and make sure that weeds are not sprouting up too close to your home's foundation or patio.
Although reducing breeding grounds and habitats may reduce the number of mosquitoes, inevitably there will still be more that will show up during Sunday's barbecue. Torches, candles and zappers can provide short-term control for outdoor areas in such situations, but are not effective long-term solutions.
Lee Davis, owner of Mosquito Swipers, explains, "Mosquito torches and zappers are only partially effective, offering temporary relief from mosquitoes at best. These may be adequate if you rarely use your backyard, but for families who want to make the most of of their outdoor living, our mosquito misting systems provide the most comprehensive and effective mosquito control Atlanta has to offer."
Mosquito Swipers keeps mosquitoes at bay with a plant-based botanical insecticide spray. These sprays, which are not harmful to children or pets, are triggered during the most times when mosquitoes are most active, killing mosquitoes and interrupting their breeding cycles.
With the help of Mosquito Swipers, the patio can be enjoyed on long summer nights during mosquito season.
