Mosquitoes are one of the most maddening and also dangerous creatures on the planet. We have all been on holiday somewhere and had to put up with the nightmare of chasing mosquitoes around at 3AM, and spending hours messing about with ugly looking nets to prevent them from getting into your bed. As you can seen, there are many reasons why people would want to be rid of these little pests, we will discuss some such methods to help make your life easier, on holiday, or if you live somewhere with mosquitoes.
Many countries, even colder ones such as Sweden, have a resident Mosquito population. They vary in size, and some are more persistent than others the ones that buzz near your ear at night! Only female mosquitoes actually drink the blood of animals, mosquitoes actually feed on nectar. However, the females require supplements such as iron, protein etc, which they acquire from blood. The females can locate possible blood sources, by detecting carbon dioxide, and following it to the source.
Once they have found a victim, it uses the long, needle like mouth to extract blood from the veins, using its special saliva to break down the blood. They will typically bite more than twice per day, and normally from different people/animals. This means they are a major danger for the spreading of disease. Thankfully, they are a lot smaller than us, and can be killed easily, the problem is finding them. Normally the best way to avoid being bitten is to make sure the mosquitoes don’t get near you in the first place.
There are many different methods, as mentioned before cream can be applied to the skin to repel the mosquitoes. This gives off an odor that the mosquito cannot stand, and forces it to look elsewhere for its food. This can be annoying, but it is quite an effective way to stop them from having a go at your during the night. Some creams are better than others one of the best on the market is Insect Repellent Cream.
Another effective way to get rid of mosquitoes, are special Candles or scent plugs. These do the same job as the cream, but fill the room with the smell. This stops the mosquitoes even wanting to come into the house because they don’t like what they smell. Obviously these help to get rid of mosquitoes indoors, but can be used at the table in the yard, whilst you eat your evening meal.
If you have a slight infestation, there are many sprays that can be obtained. Normally a standard fly spray will do the job, but there are also several specialist sprays for mosquitoes.
In conclusion, there are many different methods of how to get rid of mosquitoes. Most people will use skin cream, as it protects you. For protecting the home, there are great ranges or scented candles and scents that repel mosquitoes can be used. Another great product is the LenTek EcoTrap, this product covers a 60ft radius, and attracts the mosquitoes by releasing small amounts of CO2, then traps them inside for you to dispose of.
