stagnant water removal Mosquitoes breed in water. Every place in your home that has standing water needs to be taken care of. If you have some of them in your home you should get rid of the water immediately or change it regularly. This eliminates the possibility of mosquito breeding.
Cleaning of bathing areas and closed spaces Make sure to clear closed spaces that can give mosquitoes a breeding ground.
Repair drips and other leaky things – If your sink and other things that control the fluid in your home are leaking or leaking, you should call a plumber immediately until it’s too late and mosquitoes start breeding in that water.
Clear your driveway area Mosquitoes also find their breeding ground in driveway puddles. So make sure it remains clean at all times.
remove plastic bags that contain liquids Plastic bags containing liquids are also breeding grounds for mosquitoes as the larvae can breed anywhere in the water.
make deep water It is believed that mosquitoes are unlikely to breed in water 2 feet deep, they breed mostly in shallow water.
break laravel activity – You can break the continuation of larval generation from water fountains, water springs, cascades and other running water areas. This prevents the larvae from coming to the surface of the water to breathe. For this you can use insecticides.
Throw away old containers and trash Old plastic containers and dustbins are an open invitation for mosquitoes to breed again. Make sure you throw away the waste which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Change water for animals If you have kept water for animals in your outdoor area, make sure you change it twice a week as it encourages mosquito breeding.
