Mosquito—Health Risk and Remedies

For millions of years, mosquitoes have sucked the blood of their prey and transmitted deadly diseases in the process. If not for mosquitoes, countless human lives could have been spared. Yet wishful thinking simply won’t do any good, which is why it pays to be prepared for any mosquito attack.

You can follow a variety of methods to deal with mosquitoes in and around your home. Yet whatever method you choose, keep in mind that mosquitoes can be quite resilient and quick to adapt. You need to be thorough and destroy their habitats by resorting to methods like misting and fogging.

These days, misting is considered one of the most popular and effective mosquito killing techniques. This procedure involves emitting a kind of artificially produced vapor which contains substances that can take down mosquitoes in a wide area. Modern mosquito misting systems include remote control-operated drum apparatus with extract of chrysanthemum inside.

Mosquitoes thrive in places where there's standing water, such as ponds or even aquariums. To prevent these bugs from spreading, you can pour oil on the water and thereby prevent adult mosquitoes from feeding their young. Meanwhile, be sure to get rid of any puddle or stagnant water that forms after every rain.
