When homeowners in the California Coast & Bay Area ask what they can do about mosquitoes, I usually suggest focusing on the areas around the home that hold moisture or standing water.
One of the biggest things is checking for anything outside that’s collecting water longer than it should.
It also helps to trim back dense landscaping near patios and walkways so those areas get better airflow and don’t stay damp all day.
Another thing I mention a lot is changing birdbath or pet water regularly instead of letting it sit for days at a time.
Small changes like these can make a noticeable difference when they’re done consistently.
I recently handled a mosquito issue nearby and explained what we found and what actually helped reduce the activity long-term:
