An Everglades wildlife biologist, adventure-travel pros, entomologists and other experts share their best strategies for keeping mosquitoes away.
As the weather warms up and humidity increases, mosquitoes are hatching in backyards across the country, eager to victimize innocent barbecue-goers and home gardeners everywhere.
Down in the swamps of Florida, protective measures can get even more extreme. Pete Corradino, a wildlife biologist and owner of Everglades Day Safari, says the tour groups that his company leads are encouraged to load up on DEET repellent and wear hats with nets over them to cover the face and neck. Outside of that, it’s a matter of adapting — by now, Corradino says, “a couple of mosquito bites for me is something I can tolerate.
People with outdoor planters that gather water, “need to dump those out or potentially treat them with insecticide,” though Messenger says to be wary of chemical treatments as they could also impact the plant’s health.
