No. But you can take a bite out of their populations so they take fewer bites from you.

Why Mosquitoes Like Your Atlanta Yard
When mosquitoes are drawn into your yard, they're going to find a location to breed. If you address attractants, you can keep mosquitoes away and reduce their numbers in your yard. Once again, this will not make it so that you have no mosquitoes on your property, it will only reduce their numbers and reduce bites.
Here are a few reasons why mosquitoes in Atlanta come into your yard, and how you can deter them:
- Replace exterior white lights with yellow lights. Insects can't detect yellow light and are therefore not attracted to it.
- Clean your gutters out and make any necessary repairs. This can reduce moisture near your home and deter mosquitoes.
- Remove unnecessary vegetation from your landscaping. This helps to keep your landscape dry and also removes a food source for mosquitoes. When mosquitoes get into your landscaping, they feed on nectar from flowers, plants, and weeds. They also feed on plant sap. Get rid of unnecessary vegetation to make your landscaping mosquito resistant.
- Address puddles. If you have conditions that cause puddles to form in your yard, mosquitoes can use those puddles to breed. It takes just over a week for mosquitoes to go from eggs to flying adults.
Why It Is So Hard To Keep Mosquitoes Away From Your Atlanta Yard
Most yards have hiding places for mosquitoes. These insects don't need landscaping in order to establish themselves on your property. They can get underneath a deck, patio, porch, or shed. They can breed in a cup full of water in your gutters. This is why we strongly recommend spraying for mosquitoes in your yard. This is best done by a licensed professional.
At Tuxedo Mosquito Control, we specialize in mosquito control. We use the most advanced products to ensure the highest level of mosquito control. We don't take a cookie-cutter approach and it really shows. Our customers get customized mosquito control that considers the conditions in their yards and the level of control they're looking to get. We may suggest spraying for mosquitoes in your yard as an ongoing, seasonal reduction of mosquitoes, but you'll always get far more than this.
The technicians at Tuxedo Mosquito Control are mosquito experts. We know what mosquito species we have in Atlanta, what conditions can be altered to manage mosquito populations, and what products are known to address the particular species being treated. You'll get a comprehensive solution to your mosquito control issue when you invest in service from Tuxedo Mosquito Control.
