Protect Yourself from Mosquitoes
Protect Yourself from Mosquitoes
There is a rising threat of mosquitoes and that’s bad news for anyone who enjoys being outside. Whether you’re trying to enjoy a back porch in the evening or you have an event that lasts from day to night, mosquitoes can ruin a good time in no time. Luckily, Ark Termite Treatment The Vines is proud to provide award-winning mosquito control services to help keep families safe in their homes and businesses.
Why Should You Be Concerned About Mosquitoes?
You may think of mosquitoes as nothing more than a nuisance, but they’re measurably the deadliest animal on the planet. These small creatures are the source of transmission of some of the world’s most lethal diseases such as;
West Nile Virus
Zika Virus
Dengue Fever
Yellow Fever
Malaria
Lymphatic Filariasis
Chikungunya
Canine Heartworm (a serious threat to your pets)
Over 1 million people die annually of mosquito-borne diseases worldwide.
Mosquito Populations Are Booming
It’s not just you, mosquitoes are increasing. A changing environment, urbanisation, and warmer climates allow mosquitoes to breed in more locations for longer periods. In some places, mosquito numbers have increased as much as 400 per cent in the last 10 years.
One female mosquito can lay more than a hundred eggs at a time, and those eggs can hatch and grow up to become biting adults in fewer than two weeks. If your yard is untreated, that means there’s ample space for them to play, and when those mosquitoes do get to play well, let’s just say it’s not fun and games for humans.
Mosquitoes Are Getting Smarter and Tougher
Here’s something you may not realise: some mosquitoes are growing immune to the repellents we’ve relied on for years. New research indicates that some species of mosquitoes have evolved a genetic mechanism that makes them less susceptible to repellent smell, and they’re passing that trait down to their offspring.
That’s one reason the drugstore bug sprays may not do the job. If you have a serious mosquito problem in your yard, it’s time to start thinking about consistent, long-lasting mosquito control options.
How to Prevent Mosquito-Borne Diseases
The best way to keep you and your family safe? Don’t get bitten to begin with. Here are some things you can do:
1. Cover Up
Wear long sleeves and pants while you are outside, including during the early morning and the late evening hours, dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are the most active.
2. Time It Right
For example, if it’s possible, plan outdoor activities during the late morning or midday hours, not during the peak mosquito hours (dusk and dawn).
3. Mosquito-Proof Your Home
Ensure all your windows and doors have intact screens. Do not prop unscreened openings open even for a short time.
4. Use Repellents Wisely
While some repellents are providing less protection against resistant mosquitoes than they did before, they still have a use. Select and use EPA-registered products according to product labeling.
