Mosquitoes are responsible for nearly a million deaths each year. The majority of these cases occur in third world countries due to a few factors. Third world countries lack access to high-quality medicine When someone gets sick with a fatal but treatable ness like malana, they do not receive proper health care ir many cases. Abo, there are far more Infected mosquitoes in third world countries. The more people that get sick the more these vector pests pick up and transmit disease causing organisms.

America has fewer outbreaks because lower people are sick, which means fewer mosquitoes are carrying diseases. However, outbreaks do still occur. If someone in your neighborhood has a blood borne disease like malaria, West Nile virus, or dengue fever, mosquitos will become vectors. As they bite more people, diseases spread and lead to outbreaks.

Tracking an outbreak before it happens is next to impossible. For this reason, we recommend you take the necessary precautions to make sure mosquitoes are biting you less frequently. Here are some tips and tricks we recommend you try:

Eliminate Mosquito Breeding

In order to lay their eggs, mosquitoes need stagnant water. To reduce the populations of these pests around your property, locate and eliminate these sources by dumping out rainwater, changing the water in birdbaths, ornate pools once every four days, and filing your gutters and landscaping so that there is no place for water to build up. For larger bodies of water like ponds, consider stocking them with mosquitofish. They won’t prevent the water from becoming stagnant, but they will consume mosqulto eggs by the thousands.
