Summer

Outdoor Living

Summer's the time for kids and pets to be outside, for pool and patio parties, or just relaxing in the shade. It's all great fun...if the mosquitoes don't drive you inside! You CAN do a great deal to help control mosquitoes. Start by making sure there is no debris where there is standing water. Make sure your gutters are clean and free-flowing, and change the water in your bird bath every day or two so it doesn't become a breeding area. Keep your yard free of weeds (mosquitoes rest in the broad leaves) and keep bushes and shrubs trimmed. These same practices will also help control fleas, ticks and many other annoying or dangerous insects.

Spray material:

Spray malathion on mosquito resting places such as flowers, in shrubs, under the eaves of your house and along walls and fences. This will also be effective for many other annoying insects.

When to spray:

Mosquitoes generally rest during the heat of the day. Spray before they start to come out in the cool of the evening.

Sprayer to use:

Your Hudson compression sprayer, with long hose and spray wand, can be used for virtually all of your mosquito spraying. For large areas, consider a Hudson power sprayer. See Catalog Link.
