Which repellents are most effective for my backyard?
Opt for DEET or another mosquito repellent registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Initially developed in the 1940s for military use, DEET has become a common ingredient in repellents due to it’s proven effectiveness. Whether you’re camping, hiking, or enjoying your backyard, applying a DEET-based repellent can significantly reduce your chances of mosquito bites.
Alternatively, Picaridin, also known as Icaridin, is a CDC and EPA-approved repellent that’s safe for all ages, including pregnant women. Originating from black pepper in the 1940s, Picaridin is equally effective as DEET.
For a more natural option, consider repellents containing Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE). Its one of the few natural substances with strong scientific support and EPA recognition. Be sure that it has at least a 30% concentration for maximum effectiveness.

Mosquito repellents you should avoid.
Mosquito wristbands
Mosquito-repelling wristbands claim to emit sonic waves to keep pests at bay. However, these devices lack EPA approval and have little evidence proving they can offer full-body protection against mosquitoes.
Citronella candles
Citronella candles are not a reliable method for safeguarding your guests against mosquitoes. There’s no substantial proof that citronella candles can effectively deter these pests. The reason lies in the low concentration of citronella used in the candles, and an even lesser amount is released when they burn, rendering them ineffective.
“Natural” sprays
“Natural” sprays often do not have the endorsement of the EPA. It’s advisable to use repellents that have received EPA approval, even if they contain more chemicals. Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) is one of the few options that offers a more natural approach to mosquito repellency while still being effective.
Eliminate standing water.
The next most important step for mosquito control is to remove any standing water on your property. Stagnant water is the sole requirement for female mosquitoes to lay their eggs, making it imperative to address all ares of still water.
Eliminating potential breeding grounds
Inspect your home thoroughly for any standing water in places like tarps, garbage can lids, and plant saucers. Ensure that window wells are clear and allow water to drain effectively. These spots are often overlooked but can become prime breeding grounds for female mosquitoes to lay eggs and proliferate.
Water feature and rain gutter maintenance
Regularly check all water features, including birdbaths and landscape ponds, for cracks or stagnant water, as these can be ideal sites for mosquitoes. Additionally, maintain your rain gutters by removing leaves and debris, particularly during fall. Clogged gutters can provide perfect conditions for mosquitoes to breed. Ensure sprinklers are functioning correctly and only watering the grass to avoid creating puddles where mosquitoes can thrive.
Post-rain vigilance and home protection
After rainfall, be proactive in draining areas where water tends to collect. Identifying and addressing these spots will significantly reduce mosquito breeding sites. Lastly, secure your windows with proper screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home, where they might find moist areas to lay eggs, such as bathrooms or basements. Keeping mosquitoes out is just as important as controlling them outside.
