Mosquito nests, in fact, can easily be found around your house. Without your realizing it, mosquitoes that can breed easily will cause their own health problems, especially when they suffer from dengue fever.
Have you ever realized that if the mosquito nest near you is facilitated by you?

These things actually provoke mosquitoes to nest in your environment. Come on, see some ways to prevent mosquito nests from being breed in your environment.
Things that must be done to prevent mosquito nests from reproducing
1. Cover and destroy all holes that have water
The most common nature of mosquitoes is, like laying eggs in clean puddles. Well, the most worrying thing is, when around your yard there are trays, jugs or holes in the ground filled with water. It is a paradise for mosquitoes to breed.
Mosquitoes will be easier to breed during the rainy season, where a sunken place or position filled with falling raindrops will be easily used as a nest for mosquitoes. To prevent this, if you find a pool of water on the ground, immediately pile up and cover it with soil. If there is a place or tray filled with water, please close or empty the water so that it does not become a den of mosquitoes.
2. Don't like to hang clothes or stack items
Mosquito nests if observed will be found, where there are large quantities of clothes or solid items. Mosquitoes are naturally like a damp and dark place. Even if you have sprayed insect fluids, it will still not reach the entire gap in your closet.
The way to prevent what you have to do is to avoid excessive items or clothes piling together. If you want to use it, don't forget to take the shirt first. Make it a habit to close the cupboard, and keep your stuff piled up to a place far away.
3. Cut and clean wild plants in your yard
The yard overgrown with plants or green grass is indeed unsightly. But did you know, many mosquito nests are in thick, long and unkempt grass? As discussed earlier, when it rains, not all water is absorbed into the soil, sometimes still remaining carried by other wild-growing plants. Well, that's where the mosquitoes will be free to spawn thousands of children to make diseases to humans.
Flat buds and neat ranches or wild plants around the house, don't forget to cover the surrounding holes too, flatten them with soil. Well, you can plant plants such as lavender, orange or lemongrass which mosquitoes will hate.
4. Close the window at night and burn oil or mosquito repellent devices
Mosquito nests in your home will make mosquitoes easier to travel to find food in your home. Try covering a small gap or hole in your house using fine wire mesh, so the mosquitoes do not easily enter. Don't forget to close the windows and doors at night, because mosquitoes are active at night.
Before going to bed, apply a mosquito repellent cream to your body. If you have a baby, cover the bed with a mosquito barrier device. You can also burn lemongrass and insect repellent before going to bed.
