You could get mosquito bites while you’re outdoors, but when these pesky bloodsuckers start pestering you in your homes, that is when it gets irritating. Any home can be infested with mosquitoes, and this is more than just a minor problem because mosquitoes carry a variety of deadly diseases.

In humid countries like Singapore, mosquitoes can be a serious threat and can cause disease outbreaks. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is one of the known species of mosquito that carries dengue.

Most mosquitoes bite whenever we are asleep and they often linger in the bedroom. Aside from the bedroom mosquitoes can also breed in puddles of water often found under the kitchen sink. If your indoor humidity is high any area in your home can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This is why it is important to know how to prevent mosquitoes from nesting in your homes.  

Don’t let Mosquitoes Invade Your Home

Mosquitoes keep getting in your homes through small holes, cracks and crevices. These insects are very sneaky. They can enter your bedroom, kitchen and other areas of the house even through the small openings. So, make sure your windows or doors don’t have any small holes they can squeeze in.

Stop making your homes a vacation spot for Mosquitoes

Keeping your homes tidy and clean can help prevent mosquitoes from pestering you in your home. Small pools of water like puddles or collected rainwater in small containers can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

You can prevent mosquitoes breeding within your homes from removing plant trays that have collected water from flowerpots. The stagnant water in these trays is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Keeping your trash cans sealed with a lid or getting rid of open trash bags would lessen mosquitoes in your homes. Mosquitoes are attracted to moisture in garbage, by keeping garbage away will help cut down their numbers.

High Humidity Higher number of Mosquitoes

Humidity is also a factor to consider for mosquito infestation. These flying bloodsuckers are attracted to places with high humidity, but if you’re living in a tropical country that has naturally high humidity, what can you do?

Weather is uncontrollable and humidity will always be high in tropical countries like Singapore. This is why you should consider getting a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier sucks in humid air and condenses the moisture in it. The water from the condensed moisture is then collected into a water tank.

Get a dehumidifier that gives total protection

When getting a dehumidifier, consider a brand and model that offers more than just dehumidifying your home. Sterra Sun is one of the leading brands of dehumidifiers and is used by thousands of Singaporeans and celebrities because it’s a great value for money.
