Beat the Buzz: Tips for a Mosquito-Free Summer

Is that noise the buzz of your fan, or could it be the mighty wings of the mosquito intruding into your space? As summer approaches, we can never be too sure. Mosquitoes in Florence seem to hold a grudge against us. The tiny pests show absolute relentlessness as they ruin outdoor activities and peaceful evenings on the porch. Their persistent buzz over your head and the itch from their bites leave us uncomfortable, frustrated, and ready to throw in the towel. Prepare for mosquito season before it arrives so that making adjustments isn’t necessary to continue enjoying the lifestyle you love.

Stock up on Mosquito Repellent

Don’t look back to 2020 and the great toilet paper heist we encountered during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; instead, prepare by stocking up with a few cans of mosquito repellent (depending on the number of people in your family and your level of outdoor activity).

Choose repellent containing oil of lemon eucalyptus, DEET, or picaridin for best protection. Apply repellent according to the package directions, usually every 2 to 8 hours.

Clean the Gutters

Gutters clogged with leaves, sticks, and debris also collect and retain water, the same water mosquitoes need to breed. Keep gutters and drains clean and free of debris to reduce the risk of a mosquito infestation.

Wear Protective Clothing

Gear up for mosquito season by wearing clothing that shields your skin. The more skin covered, the better. Opt for long pants, shirts, and socks to minimize the risk of mosquito bites.

Eliminate Standing Water

Wherever there’s water, mosquitoes will follow. They thrive in stagnant water found in flowerpots, birdbaths, 5-gallon buckets, and other inconspicuous areas. Remove sources of standing water, and mosquito activity will decrease.

Mosquito Nets and Screens

Camping is one of summer’s greatest pleasures until mosquitoes crash the party. Use mosquito netting outdoors to enjoy nights under the stars without being harassed by mosquito bites. Additionally, install mosquito screens over doors and windows to keep the pests out of your home.
