At Ripples Fountains, we evidently love a nice water feature. Fortunately, and unfortunately, we aren’t the only ones in love with it. Mosquitoes can smash the party whenever there’s a body of water involved. And we all know that they bring a lot of diseases with them.
Fortunately, we have ideas which can keep away the mosquitoes
from your fountains.
Keep The
Water Moving
Mosquitoes are strangely in love with stagnant water. They
can lay their eggs in just a few drops of still water. Most water features come
with a pump to keep water moving. Pond aerators help daunt mosquitoes, too.
Nevertheless, it’s vital to keep an eye on things and ensure no areas of the
pond become stagnant. Not sure if your water feature is doing justice? Have
Ripples Fountains come to take a look.
Cut Off The
Mosquitoes’ Food Source
Mosquitoes develop at a quick rate and they hinge on lots of
food to do it. If it’s algae or general muck, mosquitoes will find it to be a delicacy.
You can remove these food sources by eliminating excess vegetation and organic
remains, and ensuring your pond is cleaned annually.
Consider
Water Additives
Insecticides can be an operative way to get rid of mosquitoes
from the water bodies. They won’t harm plants or fish, but they will smear out
mosquito larvae.
Water features can have many moving parts, and maintenance is
the crucial aspect to have to years of enjoyment. If mosquitoes are getting the
best of you, Ripples Fountains can help.
