When do mosquitoes come out?
You can rake open the nest and pour in boiling water (add liquid soap for extra killing power). Boiling water does kill vegetation, so be careful using this method on lawns. Some say to add vinegar but that will definitely kill vegetation, so we don’t recommend it.

How to get rid of mosquitoes?
Mosquito prevention at home starts with removing areas of standing water. A small fan at outdoor gatherings may also reduce mosquitoes, since they’re not strong flyers. Plants like marigolds, catnip, and lavender can help naturally repel mosquitoes (as long as the groundhogs and deer don’t eat them first). You can also have professional treatments done, including mosquito traps.

What attracts mosquitoes?
If you have a backyard, odds are good you have mosquitoes! The main thing that attracts mosquitoes? You! You’re their meal, after all. Make sure to dump standing water and keep your landscaping on point. Although mosquitoes are generally attracted to body heat and carbon dioxide, studies have shown that other factors such as blood type and the presence of naturally occurring bacteria on skin can make some people more appetizing to these blood-sucking pests than others. Additionally, dark colored clothing and perfume have been known to attract Culex mosquitoes.
