Ever wish the
mosquitoes simply ceased to exist? Well technically speaking, there are ways to
completely eradicate every mosquito on the planet, although there are huge
ecological consequences that will result from such measures if they are ever
carried out. Aside from calling in professional mosquito control services, the
best you can do is take preventive measures to minimize your exposure to
mosquitoes.
This is because the
Smithsonian recently found out that female mosquitoes are attracted to a number
of everyday things like beer, exercise, and bright clothes. Avoiding these
things, especially during peak hours when mosquito activity is heavy, can
reduce one's chances of getting bitten. Health officials also recommend using
window screens, insect repellants, and even household fans to ward off
mosquitoes, especially indoors.
Meanwhile,
professionals can step in by spraying insecticides in areas rife with
mosquitoes as well as sealing up/removing potential breeding grounds like
barrels, open containers, old tires, and flower vases. They can also provide
reliable misting systems that can allow a household to regularly spray their
premises with insecticides and create an impenetrable “no fly zone” for
mosquitoes at any given day. These systems can work in tandem with municipal
mosquito control projects to ensure that the entire neighborhood is mostly
mosquito-free.
