What's The Best Natural Mosquito Repellent For My Atlanta Yard?

Mosquitoes are annoying. They can also present a health risk. Mosquitoes are considered to be the most dangerous animals on the planet due to their link to malaria, dengue fever, West Nile virus, Zika virus, and many other dangerous diseases. If you’re looking to protect your family from viruses that can be transmitted by mosquitoes, you may turn to natural mosquito repellents as an answer. Natural mosquito repellants can seem like the best answer; it is quite possible that they may be the right answer for you. But there are a few things you should know, particularly if you live in Atlanta, the mosquito capital of the United States.
Personal Protection & Yard Protection

There are two ways you may apply a repellent to keep Atlanta mosquitoes from biting you. You may put it on your skin or you may apply it to landscape vegetation and other key areas mosquitoes tend to rest.

What Works Best For Exterior Applications?

When repelling mosquitoes with a botanical insecticide, effectiveness is not gauged as much by what botanical mixture is used as by how much control you have over applying the product around your home. We could tell you that lemon eucalyptus, citronella, lavender, tea tree oil, and many other naturally derived substances work well and provide you with an appropriate mixture to get the best results, but this information would be useless if you don't have the time or energy to spray the perimeter around your home or other key exterior locations as often as required. The best advice we can give is that having a mosquito spraying system installed is the best way to go. Here are a few reasons why:
