Late-Summer Mosquito Control: What Really Works in Alabama

It’s August — and mosquitoes are relentless. The warm temps, frequent rain, and backyard activity create a breeding paradise for these blood-suckers. But not all solutions are created equal.

Common Myths (Busted):

• Myth: Citronella candles are enough. Fact: They’re only effective in small, enclosed spaces.

• Myth: Mosquitoes only come out at night. Fact: Daytime biters (like Aedes mosquitoes) are active in shade and overgrowth.

  
  

What Actually Works:

• Eliminate ALL standing water — even bottle caps and clogged gutters.

• Keep shrubs trimmed and lawn short to reduce shady hiding spots.

• Use professional mosquito misting systems that target high-traffic areas.

  
  

Our Approach: Sipsey’s monthly mosquito program kills adults, disrupts breeding cycles, and prevents new hatch-outs — with treatments safe for kids, pets, and pollinators.

Bonus Tip: Invite fewer pests by switching to yellow-tinted bug lights around porches and patios.
