Spider Bites vs. Mosquito Bites: How to Tell the Difference and Get Relief

Keep Mosquitoes Out of Your Yard with Simple Water Management Techniques

When it comes to mosquito control, not every solution has to involve complex methods or harsh chemicals. One of the simplest yet most effective strategies is the Tip and Cover method. This easy, straightforward technique focuses on two key actions—tipping/draining and covering—that you can effortlessly integrate into your regular yard maintenance routine. By managing standing water around your property, you can drastically reduce the mosquito population and enjoy your outdoor spaces without the buzz.

Why Tip and Cover?

Mosquitoes require standing water to breed. Even the smallest amount, like a puddle in a flowerpot or a neglected birdbath, can become a breeding ground, producing hundreds or even thousands of mosquitoes in a single season. This makes the Tip and Cover strategy critical for preventing mosquito infestations. By eliminating standing water, you stop mosquitoes at their most vulnerable stages—the egg and larval stages—before they have a chance to multiply.

Key Areas to Focus On

Here’s where you should implement the Tip and Cover method to break the mosquito life cycle:

• Flowerpots and Saucers: Regularly drain water that collects in the saucers under flowerpots. To prevent standing water, consider removing the saucers during peak mosquito season or making sure they don’t retain water.

• Birdbaths and Pet Water Bowls: Change the water at least twice a week. This disrupts the mosquito life cycle, stopping them from reaching adulthood.

• Gutters and Drains: Keep your gutters free of leaves and debris that can cause water to pool. Be sure to check and clean them regularly, especially after rainstorms.

• Children’s Toys: Toys left outside often collect rainwater. Store them in a dry, covered area, or turn them over to prevent water buildup.

• Pools and Spas: Properly maintain pools and spas by keeping the water chemically balanced and circulating. Always cover them when not in use to keep mosquitoes from laying eggs in the water.

• Rain Barrels: If you use rain barrels, be sure they’re equipped with mosquito-proof covers or netting to prevent mosquitoes from accessing the water.

• Plant Trays and Decorative Containers: Drain these regularly, or use soil that absorbs less moisture to minimize water accumulation.

• Recycling Bins and Garbage Cans: Ensure they don’t retain water. Keep lids tightly closed and store them in a way that allows water to run off instead of collecting inside.

• Old Tires and Unused Containers: Remove or properly store any old tires or unused containers. These often become hidden breeding spots for mosquitoes.

Stop Mosquitoes Before They Multiply

By simply incorporating Tip and Cover into your routine, you can make a significant impact on the mosquito population in your yard. It’s an easy, chemical-free way to cut mosquitoes off at the source and enjoy a more comfortable, mosquito-free outdoor environment.

What to Do If You Find a Tick on Your Dog

Discovering a tick on your pet is never pleasant, but don’t panic. Follow these steps recommended by the Humane Society:

Check for Ticks: Regularly inspect your dog, especially after outdoor activities. Pay close attention to crevices such as behind the ears, leg joints, tail, and paws.

Verify: Ensure the bump is a tick and not a mole or bug bite. A close inspection may be necessary.

Remove Carefully: If comfortable, use tweezers and gloves to remove the tick. Pull slowly to remove the mouth and head as completely as possible.

Disinfect: Clean the bite area and wash your hands to prevent infection.

Monitor: Watch for any signs of distress, discomfort, or illness in your dog. Save the tick and consult your veterinarian if you’re concerned about tick-borne diseases.

Mosquitoes can be a real pain, especially during the summer months. When it comes rain, it's natural to be concerned about the impact it might have on the products we have applied to your property.

At Mosquito Elite we understand that it will most likely rain between your 21 day treatment window. Thats why we have different treatment applications based on the time of year and weather patterns. Our products combinations are designed to dry quickly and STAY PUT despite the rain. We target special areas like undersides of leaves, decks, fences, etc. where rain is less likely to fall, so you should be fine to be outside once the rain stops. You can trust that the product will not be affected by the rain. As long as your application is given proper time to dry (15-30 minutes depending on weather) your treatment will be protected from the elements.

You may see some increased activity immediately after the rain, but this is normal. Just remember that mosquito eggs need water to hatch, so after a rain their will be a whole new population out and about.
