How do you deal with mosquitoes breeding easily when growing flowers in summer?

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Every year at this season, mosquitoes run rampant, and friends who grow flowers are especially troubled by this. In summer, growing flowers at home breeds a lot of mosquitoes. What should you do? The methods below will keep you from suffering mosquito bites because of growing flowers.

If you want fewer mosquitoes at home, the first thing you need to do is change the water for your plants frequently. For some hydroponic plants, in a hot, stuffy environment, bacteria easily breed in the water, attracting mosquitoes.

So we should change the water for hydroponic plants frequently, about once a week, keeping the water fresh. This is good for plant growth and can also reduce mosquito breeding.

Some methods say you can spray some mosquito-repellent medicine into the water of hydroponic plants. Actually, the editor does not really recommend doing this, because chemical preparations are more or less toxic, and if the plant is fragile, it is easily affected.

Second, we should pay attention to cleaning the balcony, water pool and other dead corners where water easily accumulates. The balcony temperature is high, and standing water in dead corners easily becomes a breeding place for mosquitoes, so we should often clean the corners where water easily accumulates.

We can also use someempty bottles or small basins filled with laundry detergent water, place them in the corners, and this can kill wrigglers, thereby blocking mosquito reproduction.

After watering the flowers, the leak-proof tray under the flowerpot will inevitably have standing water. Many flower growers neglect to clean them, causing the water in the tray to rot under high temperatures. So friends who grow potted plants at home must pay attention in summer to cleaning the leak-proof tray at the bottom of the flowerpot, eliminating any possibility of mosquito breeding.

In summer, when we grow potted plants, we can grow a few pots of green plants that repel mosquitoes and catch insects. For example, mosquito-catching grass, mint, lemongrass, pitcher plants, etc. Growing one or two pots on the balcony can not only green the balcony, but also play a certain role in repelling mosquitoes.

If you want to avoid the trouble of mosquito bites, we had better eliminate the production of mosquitoes from the source. Friends living on high floors should also pay attention and take mosquito prevention measures, installing screen doors or screens.

Especially for friends who grow flowers, the home environment is already more likely to breed some mosquitoes, so pay even more attention to these little methods, so you can enjoy greenery throughout the house this summer and no longer endure mosquito bites.
