Mosquito Control

It contains numerous sources of information on mosquito biology, mosquito-borne diseases, personal protection methods, and mosquito control methods. However, many people lack an understanding of mosquito biology and their importance to public health. Mosquitoes that transmit the West Nile virus typically lay their eggs in standing water or containers that hold water. Weeds, tall grass, and bushes provide hiding places for outdoor adults.

Eliminating places for mosquitoes to lay eggs can help reduce the mosquito population in your home and neighborhood. Mosquito-borne diseases are a major health threat worldwide. Some diseases, such as malaria, affect certain regions chronically. Mosquitoes can be very bothersome, causing itchy hives when they bite, and some species of mosquito bites can be painful. In areas where biting mosquitoes are common, the quality of life can decrease. Mosquitoes are also vectors for a variety of viruses that can cause serious diseases.
