Not every mosquito-attracting spot contains standing water. Adult mosquitoes often rest in cool, shaded and humid places, including behind curtains, under furniture, in cluttered storage areas and around damp corners. Keeping these spaces clean, dry and well-ventilated can help reduce places where mosquitoes hide.
Mosquito control is not just about using a repellent when you hear that familiar buzzing sound near your ear. It also means checking the little corners of your home where water collects or mosquitoes find a place to rest. A few minutes of regular cleaning and inspection can make your home a less inviting place for them.
