If you’ve stepped outside lately and felt like you were being attacked by a tiny flying army—you're not alone. Mosquitoes have taken over Southeast Michigan and it’s starting to feel like they’re the ones hosting summer parties in our backyards.
Warm temps, recent rain more like surprise downpours, and humid sticky evenings have created the perfect storm for mosquito madness. But don’t worry! We’ve got fast, effective solutions to help you reclaim your yard and your sanity.
Welcome to August in Michigan—where the weather is basically a mosquito’s dream vacation. Think:
These conditions are mosquito heaven and prime for mosquito breeding. Eggs hatch faster, adults live longer, and breeding sites multiply like crazy—especially clogged gutters, birdbaths, kiddie pools, and even that flower pot you forgot to dump out last week.
While professional treatments are the fastest and most effective way to tackle a full-blown mosquito invasion, there are a few tried-and-true DIY tricks that can help reduce mosquito activity in your yard—especially when used alongside Safari Tree’s services.

Plant mosquito-repelling herbs like:
Bonus: They smell great and add beauty to your garden!
Toss a few sprigs onto your fire pit or grill. The smoke helps repel mosquitoes naturally—and adds a cozy vibe to your evening hangout.
