Mosquitoes are a vector agent that transmits disease-causing viruses and parasites from person to person without catching the disease themselves. They are vectors of deadly diseases such as dengue, malaria, etc. Only female mosquitoes are capable of drinking blood. In reality, female mosquitoes do not drink blood for their survival, they drink blood for additional substances like protein and iron to develop eggs. By drinking blood from one animal to another, they transmit detrimental bacteria.
There are numerous methods used for mosquito control, but first we should have knowledge on their life cycle. Mosquitoes go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult or imago. Adult females lay eggs in stagnant water like salt-marsh, lake, and even in plastic bucket. The first three stages are aquatic and last 5-14 days, depending on the species and the ambient temperature; eggs breed to become larvae, then pupae. The adult mosquito comes out from the pupa as it floats at the water surface. Adult females can survive up to a month but most of them do not survive more than 1-2 weeks.
Now, we know that mosquitoes prefer stagnant water and dark places for them to thrive. So, it is necessary to make certain that no still water will be formed in your area. Make your that your pipelines have no leaks and the drainage system is clean and free-flowing.
In sites near bodies of water like pond, get rid of all floating rubbles and other solid waste material from the water. Solid garbages render breeding area for mosquitoes so make sure that they are cleaned. Production of mosquito-eating fish can also help control the mosquitoes.
You can also use insecticides and mosquito repellents in case the mosquito trouble is too great. ask for help to your local municipality to undertake mosquito prevention programme.
