How to get rid of mosquitoes at the dacha. Destruction from mosquitoes in the country

Mosquitoes are harmful and annoying bloodsuckers that can ruin your outdoor recreation and turn your stay at your favorite dacha into a nightmare. Another classic writer wrote about the misfortune common in our latitudes: “Oh, red summer, I would love you if it weren’t for dust, dirt, and mosquitoes...”. But Alexander Sergeevich lived long before the advent of all kinds of means of fighting insects. Therefore, let's see how in our time we can protect our summer cottage from the invasion of the flying midge.

Why fight mosquitoes in your summer cottage?

You can talk as much as you like about the role of mosquitoes in ecological system and about their indispensability in natural processes, but if you or your child are allergic to mosquito bites, then you want the bloodsuckers to perform their irreplaceable role away from the dacha or country house.

Mosquito saliva causes itching, swelling and redness at the site of the bite, and in some cases an allergic reaction.

It is known that mosquitoes are capable of transmitting dangerous diseases such as malaria or encephalitis. The cases are quite rare, but they do occur. This is enough to start exterminating these insects on your site.

Infections carried by mosquitoes are transmitted through saliva during a bite.

Methods of combating flying bloodsuckers can be divided into chemical and folk. When choosing a method, you need to take into account that chemicals have all the pros and cons of modern insecticidal preparations. Folk remedies, for all their environmental friendliness, cope with the task less effectively.

To better make a choice, it’s worth taking a closer look at what is offered to us modern market anti-mosquito drugs and how folk experience has been enriched over time.

Chemical treatment

There are two ways to completely destroy mosquitoes on a site: call a special team or deal with it on your own using an insecticide.

Disinfestation of the site requires the mandatory presence of a protective suit

On a note. Total treatment of the area with insecticides will get rid of all insects, not just mosquitoes. Depending on the duration and range of exposure to the drug, you may be deprived of the company of horse flies, midges, ticks, flies and ants for a long time.

Calling a brigade will cost about 2 thousand rubles for every 6 acres of land. If you decide to act on your own, then professionals recommend not resorting to untested means. Using drugs that have already proven themselves will minimize unwanted side effects.

Popular mosquito repellents

A substance that can permanently clear an area of flying bloodsuckers is called cypermethrin. In one ratio or another, this insecticide is present in most chemical mosquito repellents.

Today, experienced summer residents most often use:

Digital. Available in the form of an emulsion (packaging - 0.05 or 0.5 liters). average cost the product reaches about 900 rubles per 0.5 liter.
To treat 1 acre you will need to dilute 4 ml of Tsifox in 1 liter of water (depending on the topography of the area)
Medilis Cyper. Yellowish liquid (packaging - 0.5 or 5 liters). The average cost of the drug reaches about 1,500 rubles per 0.5 liter.
To treat an area with Medilis Cyper you will need from 2 to 5 ml of product per 1 liter of water (depending on the density of vegetation)
Sipaz Super. Concentrate, packaging - 1 liter. The average cost of the product reaches about 2,250 rubles per bottle.
To treat 1 hectare of land with Sipaz Super you will need from 3 to 8 ml of product per 1 liter of water
Agran. Brownish concentrated emulsion (packaging - 0.05 or 1 liter). The average cost of the drug reaches about 1,600 rubles per 1 liter.
Sinuzan. Yellow or brown emulsion (packaging - 1 or 20 liters). The average cost of the product reaches about 2,500 rubles per 1 liter.
The active ingredient in Sinuzan is not cypermethrin, but chlorpyrifos (48%)
Doctor Klaus. Ready-made spray, packaging - 0.75 or 1 liter. The average cost of the drug reaches about 300 rubles per 0.75 liter.
Spray Doctor Klaus destroys not only mosquitoes, but also flies
Bioneutral I-50. Emulsion, packaging 0.1 or 1 liter. The average cost of the product reaches about 1,700 rubles per 1 liter.
It is better to prepare a solution from the drug Bioneutral I 50 immediately before treatment or use it within 8 hours

How to choose the right drug

When choosing a chemical for mosquito control, summer cottage Experts recommend paying attention to the following parameters:

Availability of water. If there is a body of water on the site or in its immediate vicinity, then you should pay attention to preparations designed to destroy larvae in areas with high humidity.
It is necessary to be especially careful when choosing a product if ornamental fish live in the reservoir (it can harm them too)
Relief of the site. The presence of many shaded areas also requires an individual approach from the preparations.
The more shady and humid places there are in the area, the more likely it is that mosquitoes will lay their larvae there.
Vegetation density. In open summer cottages, the concentration of the product may be small, unlike those on which trees and shrubs grow.
Lush vegetation on the site suggests greater consumption of the drug or higher toxicity of the product

Important to remember. The selected drug must be certified, with an unexpired shelf life.

Precautions and general rules for treating the area

If you decide to protect your dacha or suburban area from mosquitoes yourself, it is important to consider that an insecticide that is completely safe for people and pets has not yet been invented.

To avoid the negative consequences of chemical treatment of the territory, you need to take care not only of the effectiveness of the chosen method, but also of your own safety. You should prepare in advance for the procedure for ridding your summer cottage of mosquitoes. For this purpose you will need:

Monitor the weather forecast. The best effect can be achieved if you spray the drug in dry, windless weather (it is better that there is no precipitation in the next three days after treatment).
Settled clear and windless weather is the right time to treat the area against mosquitoes
Make sure that there are no people or pets on the territory of the dacha or site. They will be able to return there no earlier than 4–5 days after the area has been disinfested.
Clean the area in advance: mow the grass in open areas and remove the remains of last year's leaves and hay.
To achieve the best effect, the summer cottage must be prepared in advance for processing.
If possible, seal open containers of water.
Small containers with water can be covered with ordinary plastic film
Make sure the kit is available protective equipment(respirator, gloves, rubber boots, hat, robe or raincoat). You can use a regular raincoat with a hood.
When spraying an insecticide, it is important that the entire body area is protected from contact with toxic drugs
Have a sprayer with you. This can be a country option, gasoline or battery-powered (depending on the size of the plot).
It is better to select the sprayer displacement based on individual physical data and area of the site
Make sure there is enough water at room temperature to dilute the drug. If it is taken from a nearby body of water, it is better to filter it or let it settle.

On a note. It is worth considering that it will not be possible to pick berries or mushrooms in the treated area for 20 to 40 days (depending on the product used).

It is better to prepare the solution for killing mosquitoes immediately before treatment, because its shelf life usually does not exceed 12 hours. When preparing the solution, you must strictly follow the instructions and carefully observe the dosage.

Please note that some preparations are designed to treat an area in two stages: destroying larvae and then adult insects.

It is better to start the procedure from buildings located on the territory.

Doors, windows and vents of residential premises must be tightly closed. It is better to treat the vegetation on the site along the perimeter, trying not to get on the sprouts and buds, so as not to ruin future fruits and flowers.

An insecticide against mosquitoes and their larvae can disrupt the normal development of young plant shoots

Female mosquitoes usually lay eggs in damp and shaded places, so anti-clutch and larval agents should be sprayed near sources of moisture (drains, taps, sewers), in basements and all kinds of cracks and cracks.

Mosquito eggs can be found in any damp and dark place

Treatments will also require areas where adult bloodsuckers gather. This is the simplest stage of the entire procedure.

Important to remember. Most mosquito repellents are also toxic to bees. If there is an apiary nearby, you should limit the flight of these beneficial insects for the time specified in the instructions.

After finishing treating the area against mosquitoes, do not forget to change the water in open containers so that insecticide residues do not cause poisoning of animals.

Traditional methods of fighting mosquitoes

Traditional methods of mosquito control do not imply the total destruction of insects in the entire suburban area. These are gentle measures aimed mainly at repelling bloodsuckers. At the same time, traditional methods are safe for humans and their four-legged friends.

The issue of holiday safety becomes especially relevant if children and pets come to the dacha

Majority traditional methods based on the intolerance of mosquitoes to strong odors. Therefore, our task will be to distribute strong aromas throughout the area using available means.

Treatment with essential oils

Flying bloodsuckers cannot stand odors:

lavender;
In addition to being a repellent, the aroma of lavender also has a calming effect.
thyme;
The thyme plant has another popular and no less famous name - thyme
eucalyptus;
Despite their distinct coniferous aroma, eucalyptus trees belong to the myrtle family.
tea tree;
Tea tree essential oils are widely known for their healing properties.
carnations;
Due to the high content of eugenol, essential oil has an antiseptic and analgesic effect.
basilica;
Basil essential oil can not only repel mosquitoes, but also lift your spirits.
anise
Anise essential oil can stimulate intellectual activity

To get rid of mosquitoes with the help of essential oils, you just need to distribute aromatic lamps (you can make them homemade) throughout your suburban area at a distance of about 3-5 meters from each other and choose the most pleasant smell for yourself.

An aroma lamp can be a wonderful decorative element

While the aroma lamp is operating, the absence of bloodsuckers is guaranteed.

Using available materials, you can make aroma lamps for the site yourself

The second method of fighting mosquitoes using essential oils involves treating the surfaces of the veranda or gazebo where you like to relax in the fresh air. Wipe with a napkin soaked in such concentrates. country furniture, walls of a house or pillars of a structure. As long as the aroma lasts, mosquitoes will not bother you.

Plants and herbs on the site

The following have a pungent odor that repels flying bloodsuckers:

rosemary;
It is better to plant rosemary on the south or east side of the site
mint;
When planting mint on the site, it is worth considering that it grows quite quickly
calendula;
Many summer residents like calendula for its unpretentiousness in propagation and its ability to withstand frost.
marigold;
Marigolds are also good because even a novice gardener can cope with their cultivation.
sage;
tomatoes;
Experienced gardeners know that mosquitoes do not fly over tomato beds (and many other insects avoid the leaves of this plant, which have a pungent odor)
sagebrush;
Some varieties of wormwood are used for garden design, while others are considered weeds and are mercilessly weeded out
tansy;
Any type of soil is suitable for growing tansy, even with low fertility.
carnation;
The beauty and variety of flowers have long made carnations a welcome guest in any area
geranium;
Many are more accustomed to seeing geranium in flower pot on the windowsill, but these flowers grow well in open ground
chamomile;
When growing chamomile on a plot, it is worth considering that this flower does not tolerate the proximity of groundwater.
elder.
Elderberry grows best in loamy soil with low acidity.

By planting plants around the area, you will receive a living shield against mosquitoes in the form of a lasting aroma. To enhance the effect, experienced summer residents sometimes recommend crushing or pressing down the leaves so that the smell intensifies.

Effectiveness of smoke from a fire

There is an opinion that smoke from a fire is one of the most reliable and effective means of fighting mosquitoes. Experience shows that this opinion is not entirely correct: some modern bloodsuckers have developed resistance to this method of protection. The smoke will not scare away other insects for long.

Please note that repelling mosquitoes using smoke from an open fire is unsafe

If your task is to cook kebabs and quickly leave, then the smoke from the fire may be enough to retreat from the recreation area with minimal damage to the skin.

Some mosquito repellent plants can pleasantly diversify the taste of barbecue

Exist safe ways enhance the smoke screen effect:

Spruce or pine branches.
It is enough to throw a few pine branches into the fire to enhance the mosquito-repellent aroma
Cones. It doesn’t matter whether they are spruce or pine, they contain substances that mosquitoes cannot tolerate.
If there are coniferous trees nearby, there will be no shortage of available mosquito repellents
Herbs with a strong aroma. Wormwood, thyme, mint, bird cherry or elderberry leaves - everything that grows near your resting place can be added to the fire so that the smoke becomes unbearable for mosquitoes.
Juniper. Experts recommend taking dry twigs to make the smoke thicker and richer.
In the old days it was believed that juniper smoke had healing properties- used to fumigate sick people

When making a fire on the site, it is important to remember the safety rules. If possible, use barbecues and other means of limiting open fire.

Mosquito traps

In an effort to save money, experienced summer residents make mosquito traps with their own hands. The principle of operation of such devices is based on luring insects using odors that are pleasant to them. At home, you can make a trap from an ordinary plastic bottle or make an analogue of store-bought adhesive tape.

To create the first type of design, you will need a plastic bottle with a capacity of 1.5–2.0 liters, scissors or a knife and bait (to prepare it, you need to mix 1 gram of dry yeast with 2–3 tablespoons of sugar and a glass of warm water).

A self-made bottle trap is completely safe for people and pets.

Making a homemade mosquito trap will not require any money or serious effort.

After adding yeast, there is no need to stir the bait. We insert the upper part with the neck down and place it in a dark place. To ensure reliable darkening, the bottle can be additionally wrapped in paper.

On a note. Judging by some reviews, this type of trap is not interesting for all mosquito populations, so if you are doing it for the first time, you should first try this method in the absence of family members who are allergic to insect bites.

To make sticky tape you will need a strip of paper and sticky bait. If you have some old stock paper left over for covering windows, it will work great. If not, you can cut the base yourself.

The paper must be thick enough to withstand the treatment of warm glue bait

Depending on the materials at hand, the bait can be made according to the following recipes:

Combine four parts of rosin, two parts of castor oil and one each of turpentine and sugar syrup.
Mix pine resin with linseed oil in a ratio of 2:1 and add honey with beeswax in a ratio of 5:1. For a glass of resin and oil, a tablespoon of honey mixture is enough.
Combine two tablespoons of glycerin, half a glass of honey, a glass of Vaseline and 0.4 kg of rosin.

All ingredients are melted in a water bath, mixed thoroughly and applied to the tape.

A water bath at home can be easily made from two containers of different diameters.

Traps in the form of adhesive tapes can be hung on the veranda or secured to trees in rest areas.

Homemade adhesive tape can be secured with tape, or you can make a sleeve from cardboard or a tree knot and attach the adhesive paper with thread

On a note. It is worth considering that homemade traps do not provide a lasting effect and a complete guarantee of the absence of bites, but they can reduce the mosquito population.

Water containers on the site must be tightly closed (it must be changed at least once a week) When watering, do not over-moisten the soil and allow puddles to form. There is no need to allow overly lush vegetation and weeds to grow on the site.

Summer comes, and with it comes the hated biting insects. They pester us not only in apartments, but also where we relax and work outdoors. But how to get rid of mosquitoes on the site of a summer house or country house can be solved by means of treating the territory of the site against mosquitoes. We need comprehensive control of mosquitoes at our summer cottage - we need to arm ourselves with the knowledge and technology of the treatment itself. And also be able to choose an effective drug for treating an area against mosquitoes.

It’s not difficult to select a disinfectant and treat the area where insects live on your own. Treating the area against mosquitoes and midges will become professionally effective if self-treatment of the area against mosquitoes and midges is carried out using a product that is quite effective and has a long-lasting residual harmful effect on insects.

Professional preparations for treating areas against mosquitoes have these characteristics.

Why do you need to use a highly professional mosquito repellent for DIY treatment?

Inevitable mosquito control in a large or small area is recommended in several situations.

1. How to get rid of mosquitoes on a site when there is information that the area is infested with anopheles? A professional remedy for mosquito larvae will come in handy here. Because without destroying the larvae, treating a summer cottage or garden plot against mosquitoes may not give the expected results.

Since spraying the area can be organized on its own, the drug must be selected and applied correctly. That is, it is necessary to study the instructions for the drug so that the concentration of the mosquito repellent solution corresponds to its instructions. And the destruction of mosquito larvae was carried out in all their breeding places.

2. When there are a lot of mosquitoes and they have taken over:

basement,
yard,
the area adjacent to the dacha.

In such a situation, it is urgent to poison mosquitoes, saving not only the suffering livestock from mosquitoes, midges and midges, but first of all the people themselves. A concentrate for treating an area against mosquitoes, regardless of the reason for the need to poison mosquitoes, will definitely save the situation. You just need to remember that do-it-yourself mosquito repellent treatment will not become more effective if you independently increase the dose or consumption rate.

3. Even if it is necessary not to completely destroy, but to reduce the number of insects, no other preparative form is recommended except for liquid for treating the territory of a summer cottage against mosquitoes. Each anti-mosquito treatment on the street should be carried out only with a liquid product, then its effect can last for a long time.

5. It’s not an idle question, how to independently treat the area from mosquitoes and midges if there are vast expanses of forest nearby, which are ideal condition for their reproduction. This issue is also relevant for large areas.

Near the forest, and often on its territory, there are recreation centers, as well as rehabilitation and medical institutions. Each city has a significant number of parks with fountains and water attractions. So the battle against mosquitoes is relevant not only for the dacha;
in this case, it is also recommended to treat the area against mosquitoes and ticks. There are a lot of ticks in the forests. Chemical treatment of the area against mosquitoes and ticks is carried out using the same equipment that is suitable for a small area. The same principle of operation of the sprayer and the same method of processing - spraying.

Over a large area, professional DIY work is completely possible. In this case, anti-mosquito and tick medications are used with the same composition as those used by special services.

6. Special cases include the problem associated with the danger of insect bites for animals, which:

may occur in the barn where they are kept. They also have to be protected from pests. Since treating the places where they are kept from mosquitoes means not only saving cows from bites, but also preserving milk yield;

Insects can simply bite sheep after shearing. And goats may exhibit an agitated state;
Protecting livestock from mosquitoes and flies must be carried out with knowledge of how to treat the area against mosquitoes, and which places must be sprayed.

On our website you can buy mosquito repellent for treating the territory of your summer cottage and saving livestock every day, and receive the goods by Russian Post.

How to fight mosquitoes in a summer cottage and other areas?

If a problem arises, how to get rid of mosquitoes in a summer cottage, then it is necessary to analyze all the steps step by step regarding the process of the work itself. That is, where do experts recommend starting treatment and what drugs are most effective for killing mosquitoes in a summer cottage.

For open areas, all actions begin with the choice of a means of combating mosquitoes in a summer cottage, the characteristics of which are first recommended to be familiarized with.

By what indicators should you choose a mosquito and tick repellent in your summer cottage and for other areas?

Only effective, which can work detrimentally against ticks and against mosquitoes and midges. And these may be treatment activities using drugs whose type corresponds to the following characteristics:

acaricide - against ticks,
insecticide - against mosquitoes and midges.

Mosquito insecticides applied to the area will not have a killing effect on ticks. By this indicator, you can distinguish a drug for mosquito control from a drug against ticks.

Mosquito repellent liquid for spraying on the site must contain a strong active ingredient. And it’s even better when there are several of them. Not least important is the concentration of these substances with the help of which mosquito control is carried out in the garden plot.

Most often, mosquito poison in a summer cottage, which the summer resident is allowed to use himself, is:

concentrated emulsion,
microencapsulated suspension.

Which means that the mosquito insecticide for any area is a viscous liquid, and it:

requires a reduction in concentration for use,
effective after long-term storage in undiluted form.

It is indicated in the instructions that it is intended for spraying on surfaces to kill pests:

at the dacha personal plot,
in technical basements,
areas occupied by institutions.

How to spray a private area

The most important thing is to spray the area in a timely manner. This indicator is no less important than the choice of drug and the quality of spraying. That's why:

How to carry out measures against mosquitoes in the country? The following must be processed:

garden plot. All bushes and trees, excluding flowering ones;
all the grass around the dacha area and in the yard;
vegetable garden according to the degree of need;
all objects and possible places of daytime residence of insects.

Victory over larvae is the key to successful fight against adults

Therefore, their etching is included in a number of necessary measures.

Where eggs are laid, there is always water and dampness. Therefore, the processing places in this case will be:

all tanks and barrels filled with water for a long time;
lands, lowlands and meadow depressions;
water in the pool, if it has not been dismantled for the winter;
spraying the solution onto constantly damp soil mixed with puddles;
reservoirs (ponds) are subject to treatment from mosquito larvae.

Preparations against larvae:

liquid,
powdery,
