Mosquitoes and Paint: A Slick Solution? Changing your wall color may seem like an unconventional way to keep mosquitoes at bay, but according to Premium Paints' experts, it's a surprisingly effective method.

Billy Joe Jarvis, co founder of Premium Paints, explains that white paint reflects light and heat rather than absorbing it, making it less attractive to mosquitoes.
