Baltimore Pest Control Company Touts Home Made Mosquito Repellant, as West Nile Virus Season Begins

BALTIMORE - July 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Just in time for the start of West Nile Virus season, Dovid Davis, the owner of A # 1 Pest Control, is recommending that people use his homemade mosquito repellent to protect themselves from the blood sucking insect. According to Dovid, wearing clothes that have been placed in a dryer with 2 strips of fabric softener will protect the wearer from mosquito bites. "The mosquitoes will not come close to anyone wearing those clothes" Dovid explains.  If effective, this remedy is potentially a great boon to citizens who want to protect themselves from the noxious insects, but don't have enough time to get to the store and purchase repellent.

Dovid, explains that when people know they are going to be in a place where there are mosquitoes, they should pick out the outfit they are planning to wear. They should put them in a dryer with 2 strips of fabric softener and run the dryer long enough for the chemicals in the softener to be absorbed by the clothes. In addition to repellant, state authorities urge residents to avoid areas of heavy mosquito infestation and wear pants and a long sleeve shirt when they will be around mosquitoes.

While most mosquito bites are only annoying, a few bites can transmit a variety of potentially deadly diseases, such as West Nile Virus. Consequently Maryland citizens should take special precautions against getting bit. Removing mosquito breeding areas is a community project, as mosquitoes can always fly in from a neighbor's backyard. Therefore for the individual, the only absolute protection against mosquito bites is wearing the appropriate clothes and using repellant.

A # 1 Pest Control has been serving the Baltimore and Harrisburg areas for over 20 years. The company offers residential mosquito control. Backyard mosquito control will only last for a few days, notes Dovid Davis; however, it is very effective if you are planning to use your yard for a social function, such as a wedding or large party.
