Summer with sudden showers will create conditions for mosquitoes and insects to develop, in which the garden becomes an ideal shelter.
Regularly cleaning the garden is necessary to help the living space always be airy and clean to ensure the health of the whole family.
Pruning trees, clearing weeds regularly
Mosquitoes and kissing bugs often choose lush bushes as shelters. Regularly pruning the canopy and clearing weeds in the garden will help minimize insects.
When the garden is ventilated, direct sunlight will dry out humid areas – where mosquitoes often lay eggs. Housewives should also pay attention to cleaning hidden corners and collecting fallen leaves so that the garden is always neat and clean.
Treating stagnant water sources
Water stagnation in the garden is also the cause of larvae breeding. Check carefully from the potted plant to the gutter in the garden to be very clean.
For aquariums, water should be changed periodically or more fish should be released to kill larvae. Especially keeping the garden surface dry and airy will help prevent mosquitoes and limit the smell of mold around the house on hot summer days.
Planting trees to repel natural insects
Instead of using chemicals, housewives should plant more essential oil-containing plants such as lemongrass, basil, mint or lavender. The scent from these plants makes mosquitoes and insects wary.
Placing the potted plant at the entrance or under the window will help create a spacious space, ensuring safety for the family's health.
Installing lighting equipment, mosquito nets
Using yellow light in the garden area at night will help reduce attraction to insects. In addition, installing mosquito nets at windows overlooking the garden is an effective way to prevent mosquitoes and insects from entering the house.
Housewives should also clean and wipe the house regularly to ensure good air circulation, keeping the house always cool and fresh.
