Mosquitoes Control
Mosquitoes are unwelcome guests in our homes. Beyond their annoying buzzing sound, they disrupt peace of mind, leave bite marks, and cause skin irritation and redness. Female mosquitoes rely on blood from humans and animals to reproduce, feeding on their hosts to support egg development.
On average, mosquitoes can lay about 300 eggs per batch, although the exact number varies by species and depends on the amount of blood consumed. In tropical regions, their life cycle typically spans 7–14 days.
Mosquitoes are notorious for being one of the deadliest animals in the world, responsible for an estimated 2.7 million deaths annually. They are vectors for several diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, filariasis, and Japanese encephalitis.
Methods of Mosquitoes Control
Fogging (Ochre’s Action)
Fogging involves releasing a smoke mist to reduce the mosquito population in a specific area. This treatment is highly effective for managing mosquito infestations
Larvaciding (Ochre’s Action)
Larvaciding is a chemical control method targeting mosquito larvae in stagnant water. This approach aims to break the mosquito life cycle.
Mechanical Barriers (Customer’s Action)
❖ Use mosquito nets while sleeping for effective mosquito control. ❖ Install window screens to minimize mosquito entry into buildings. ❖ Keep windows and doors closed, especially during dusk and dawn.
Eliminating Sources (Customer’s Action)
❖ Remove stagnant water from any potential containers (e.g., flower pots, discarded tires, water-filled containers) to reduce mosquito breeding sites. ❖ Maintain a clean environment by regularly clearing garbage around your property. Litter can trap rainwater during the wet season, creating potential mosquito breeding grounds. ❖ Clean drains and gutters frequently. Blocked drains and gutters can hold water, encouraging mosquito breeding. ❖ Trim overgrown grass to limit mosquito hiding spots.
