7 Natural Mosquito Repellents and Natural Mosquito Control Methods

It doesn’t matter if you happen to be talking about natural mosquito control or synthetic mosquito control, the best and most effective mosquito control system is one that kills mosquitoes in multiple ways. However, here we discuss natural methods of mosquito control.
The best mosquito control systems go after the insects in the water before they become adults. The system destroys them immediately or makes them want to leave your yard and hang out somewhere else.
Some mosquito control systems are pretty high-tech too. They may not be completely natural but have a low impact upon the environment but really knock out the mosquitoes.

One of the most well-known of these burns propane. This creates carbon dioxide and it lures in the mosquitoes. Yes, we get it, burning propane isn’t quite natural but these devices use propane at an extremely low rate.

The device traps the mosquitoes. This is a wonderful alternative to spraying some nasty insecticide, no? Even though the device isn’t completely natural it has much less negative impact on the environment.

Another great example of a semi-natural mosquito control are classic mosquito repellent appliances. They use natural insect repellants like those found in chrysanthemum flowers. This is good mosquito repellent but does require you to carry it around and use it as a mosquito barrier. This isn’t too natural either.

Look, if you can’t keep mosquitoes under control using only natural means always keep in mind that there are plenty of mosquito control systems that are environmentally friendly. It doesn’t mean that they are completely natural but work just the same and in most cases even better.

When summer comes around it is best to be prepared for those pesky mosquitoes. If you don’t want to cover yourself with chemicals to keep away then expert Cheap Pest Control Melbourne companies will suggests simple natural mosquito repellents.
