Six Easy Effective Ways To Keep Orlando Mosquitoes Away From You
Are you familiar with the dance? What dance are we referring to? It is the one you do when you're standing outside at a party and half a dozen mosquitoes take an interest in you. One lands on your arm. You wiggle. One lands on your thigh. You lift your leg, jiggle, and put it back down. One lands on your neck. You swoosh it away with your hand. Do you see the dance forming? It's a wiggle, jiggle, swoosh—not to be confused with the Hippie Hippie Shake, a popular song from the 1960s that is fun to dance to. The wiggle, jiggle, swoosh isn't fun at all. In fact, it is quite annoying. Yet, it seems to be all the craze in Orlando. We do it all the time in our backyards.

3. Mosquito Repellent
As we turn from yard protection to personal protection, we must begin with the most important way you can prevent mosquito bites. But, this solution isn't for everyone. You may feel ill when you put chemicals on your skin. This tip isn't about informing you that repellent prevents mosquito bites, but rather that there are options other than putting chemicals on your skin.
You can have some success keeping mosquitoes away by applying repellent to your clothing.
You can use a repellent that has natural oils such as oil of lemon eucalyptus.
If you still feel sick, even when you apply natural mosquito repellent, consider planting mosquito-repelling plants in your landscaping and use the oils from these plants directly on your skin.
4. Wear Something Bright
Do you know that mosquitoes have terrible eyesight and must fly low to the ground to get a lock on you. They use your silhouette against the sky. If you wear bright colors, you can make it more difficult for mosquitoes to see you and lock on target.
5. Use Netting
Nets can be used to seal an outdoor recreation area. While they reduce visibility, they give the best protection from mosquitoes. You may also purchase clothing with netting to keep mosquitoes from biting you as you mow in areas that are dense with mosquitoes.
