There can be numerous reasons for mosquitoes to be assaulting your neighborhood. You must be living near an area where the water is collected. It could be a golf course, a botanical garden, a spring, or a plant nursery or a fish farm or anything where water is kept. There only has to be a small amount of water for mosquitoes to breed. A mosquito is very small and a place that you might consider sunny will offer plenty of shady patches for hundreds of mosquitoes.



The solution usually is to fog the place each evening and morning with a mixture of insecticide and repellent. Propane or kerosene powered insect repellents work pretty well if you are not in a place that has too much wind. Keep yourself protected at two times (sunrise and sunset) at mosquitoes like these two times more than others. Wearing repellent like Mospel can guarantee a peaceful life.



Contact your local exterminator services and they will have more idea on how to tackle them.
