Effective Mosquito Control Tips for Homes and Schools

Experts recommend removing standing water, keeping the kitchen clean, using a dehumidifier and fan, preventing mosquitoes from entering, placing a bowl of soapy water, using mosquito-repellent plants, and burning essential oils to get rid of mosquitoes in the kitchen. They advise against using chemical-based mosquito repellents in the kitchen to avoid contaminating food and drink. Spiders are natural predators of mosquitoes, so leaving them and their webs alone can also help control mosquito populations.
