Stop, in the name of fresh breath! LISTERINE® is not going to protect your family from mosquitoes. Lemongrass looks lovely, and smells nice, but will it effectively repel mosquitoes?
Don’t bet on your family’s health with ineffectual mosquito control
We must meet the issue of Central Mass mosquito control in a sensible manner, as the diseases they carry are no joke! I have read many a home remedy recommendation about keeping mosquitoes away from our families, and they just don’t work. While I understand the desire for all-natural mosquito control solutions, mouthwash and herbs will not allay the mosquito population invading your yard. The only thing these “remedies” will offer you is a false sense of protection, which can be very dangerous for your family.
Why mosquito spray trumps mouthwash and lemongrass for mosquito protection
Mosquito barrier treatment is formulated for mosquito control. A reputable central Mass mosquito control company will offer both EPA-approved and all-natural solutions for treating your yard to protect your family from the threat of mosquito-borne illnesses. The micro-encapsulated mosquito barrier protection formulas of certain mosquito control companies work in two ways. First, they knock down mosquitoes on contact. Then, they continue working using a time-released component to protect your yard for up to three weeks, eliminating up to 95% of the mosquitoes around your home. It takes less than a half-hour to spray a typical yard, and your family need only wait an additional half-hour after treatment to return to the yard. Do your homework to determine the solution that you believe to be best for your central Mass home and family.
Likewise, mouthwash is formulated for deterring gum disease and promoting fresh breath. It might kill 99.9% of mouth germs, but it will not kill the mosquitoes around your home. Even if you pour or spray LISTERINE on a mosquito and it kills that mosquito on contact, do you believe this to be a real solution? Do you have time to go MOSQUITOBUSTING around your yard every day, killing mosquitoes one-by-one? Even if you find a way to spray your entire lawn with mouthwash, leaving it minty fresh, will your spray really be concentrated enough to stop mosquito invasions? Is there any information on the LISTERINE label, which tells us how to treat for mosquitoes? Labels say, “use as directed,” for a reason.
Lemongrass is an oft-mentioned mosquito repellant, but how effective is it? Is it even effective at all in controlling mosquitoes? Say lemongrass does repel mosquitoes – how much do you need to plant? Even though lemongrass contains citronella oil, you would need a veritable jungle in your yard for the fragrance to be concentrated enough to repel mosquitoes. If you go into a part of your yard devoid of lemongrass, what then? Do you have the whole family carry their own pots of lemongrass around the yard during outdoor activities? All-natural barrier protection is the solution to the lemongrass conundrum! The concentration of essential oils in these mosquito barrier treatments are such that they actually DO repel mosquitoes. What’s more, they continue protecting for up to two weeks.

Mosquito control home remedies are lessons in futility. If you’re looking for an all-natural or EPA-approved mosquito spray, call in the professionals. Your family deserves it!
