The best way to prevent mosquitoes from taking over your yard is by removing their potential breeding sites. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so when rainwater pools up in the spring, they will have plenty of opportunities to reproduce around Eastern & Central Virginia. Go around your yard and cover or drain standing water in planter boxes, clogged gutters, pools, birdbaths, and anywhere else where rainwater collects.
