Mosquitoes In Houston: What You Should Know

Mosquitoes are not only bothersome cookout guests but there are also several serious diseases carried by mosquitoes. Many of these diseases are not common in the United States, but due to commerce and world travel, outbreaks of the Zika virus and malaria aren't unheard of, so it's best to play it safe concerning these pests.

Furthermore, one disease carried by mosquitoes often overlooked is heartworm disease. This parasitic disease does not infect humans, but they do end up in dogs and cats. Mosquitoes are not inherent vectors of diseases; instead, they harbor and transmit pathogens from one host to another.

Three Natural Ways To Repel Mosquitoes 

There is no one best way to control mosquitoes in Houston but implementing several good repellents is a great place to start. 

1. Plants like marigolds, mint, basil, and lemongrass repel mosquitoes, and most fit nicely into any landscaping.
2. Get rid of standing water. Mosquitoes lay eggs and spend three-quarters of their lives in standing water.
3. Use lemon and eucalyptus oil as a repellent. The combination effectively keeps mosquitoes away when applied to the skin topically at pulse points.

There are plants that deter mosquitoes, elimination processes, and essential oils for every pest concern, but the one thing that is guaranteed to work when mosquitoes are taking over your property is professional pest control. Samson Pest and Termite Services is the name to know to rid your yard of mosquitoes for good.
