Here are eight simple ways to eliminate mosquitoes from your Fairfax County, VA lawn:

1. Remove standing water: Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so eliminate any sources of stagnant water in your yard, such as buckets, bird baths, and flower pots.
2. Keep your grass cut around 3.5 in.: Mosquitoes like to rest in tall grass, so keep routinely cut your grass
3. Plant mosquito-repelling plants: Plants such as citronella, lavender, and marigolds are known to repel mosquitoes. Planting them in your yard can help reduce the number of mosquitoes
4. Keep your gutters cleaned: Clogged ground for mosquitoes
5. Use oscillating fans: Mosquitoes are weak flyers, so using a fan to create a breeze can help keep them away
6. Use cedar mulch: Cedar oil is a common mosquito repellent ingredient. Cedar mulch also soaks up excess moisture, keeping it in the soil and deterring mosquitoes from settling in your flower beds
7. Use yellow LED lighting: Yellow lights have a lower color temperature, which makes it harder for bugs to see, according to the American Association for the Advancement of Science
8. Invest in professional mosquito yard treatments: Routinely having your lawn treated for mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks will eliminate and prevent mosquito activity
