1. Keep the water clean. If the hydroponic plants at home have not changed the water for a long time, the water quality is very poor, thus attracting a lot of mosquitoes. Then you need to replace the old water first, clean the bottle and plant roots, and then fill it with new water.
2. If there is no problem with the water quality, but there are still a lot of mosquitoes, you can use some mosquito repellent items to drive them away. For example, mosquitoes hate the smell of vitamin B2. You can put one or two tablets of vitamin B2 in the water to effectively repel mosquitoes.
3. Move hydroponic plants to a well-lit, hygienic and dry environment. If there are a large number of plants, be careful to keep a certain distance and not close together. Because cool and humid places are very suitable for mosquitoes to grow and hide; and plants that are too close together will create space for mosquitoes to hide.
