MOSQUITOES
Mosquitoes are highly dangerous to human beings due to their life-threatening
transmission of dengue fever. Love bites from these annoying bloodsuckers can cause
itchy rashes; if you are unfortunately bitten, you could be infected with deadly
diseases such as, filariasis, malaria
and yellow fever. Many mosquito species can live up to 2 months.
Mosquito larvae are often found on the surface of stagnant water, such as a pond or
a bucket of long-kept still water. Although mosquito larvae are extremely small,
they can be easily spotted as the larvae are often produced in a large mass. A
mosquito larva is cigar-shaped, and a clump of these brownish larvae resemble a
grain of oats. The larvae and the mosquitoes must be eradicated before a possible
epidemic strikes.
Treatment Methods:
- Thermal fogging
