How To Remove Mosquitoes From My Home?

This is often heard: “I have mosquitoes in my home. What can I do to get them out?” We even hear “Mosquitoes in my apartment – help!” It’s not unusual to have mosquitoes in your home. Come fall – like the fall that is just about on us – mosquitoes are seeking out a warm but moist place to overwinter. Think about that – then think about your home. What does it have to offer these mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes in Your Basement

Basements are one favorite place. If a mosquito gets into your home, it may find your basement. Many basements are damp – some have pumps to clear their basement of water, particularly if they are situated in damp places such as close to rivers and marshes. Some homes have a sump in the basement to collect water and this is meant to be pumped out regularly.

If not, mosquitoes will almost certainly breed in that sump if they find it. And find it they will if it is there. So the first action to take to keep mosquitoes out of your home is to check the basement and make sure it is dry. If you tend to get rising water, then make sure your sump has an automatic pump controlled by a level indicator.

Mosquitoes in the Kitchen

Then there is your kitchen. A favorite breeding place for mosquitoes is under your sink. To avoid this, you must keep the space beneath your sinks clear and free of damp. If you tend to get leaks or spillages from your sink into the space below it, then mosquitoes will breed there as well. They will also breed behind your sink if there have been water spillages down the back.

Even condensation running down your kitchen wall can form a small pool. Small, but enough to enable mosquitoes to lay eggs. They only need a teaspoonful. Mosquitoes can breed in the spaces between bricks or anywhere else in your home that can get damp and hold water. Under your bath, below the shower and anywhere else.
