As the summer heat intensifies, so does the mosquito population, posing a constant threat to homeowners in our area. These persistent insects can quickly turn a peaceful backyard into a battleground of itchy bites and irritating buzzing. It’s easy to dismiss them as a mere nuisance, but did you know that the color of your clothing can actually attract more of these pests?
According to a study by the University of Washington, mosquitoes are particularly drawn to colors like red, orange, black, and cyan – a shade between blue and green. Interestingly, they tend to ignore colors like green, purple, blue, and white. This scientific finding suggests that wearing these “ignored” colors could be your best defense against mosquito bites this summer.
As mosquitoes tend to thrive in warm, humid environments, summer becomes the peak season for their activity. In such areas, it’s crucial to take steps to protect your family and pets. This is how Advanced Lawn Solutions can help.
