The biggest problem with these invasive blood-stealing pests is that they are more than just annoying. Mosquitoes are some of the most dangerous creatures on the plant. To help you understand the threat these pests pose in Margate, here are some things to consider and some abatement strategies you should know about.

How Dangerous Are Mosquitoes?

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:

Reduce Factors That Attracts Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes use a few things to track their prey, including carbon dioxide, heat, dark colors, and blood type. To make yourself less attractive to these pests wear light-colored clothing, mosquito repellent when exercising outdoors, and avoid mosquito dense areas like swamps and marshlands.

Pay Mind To When You Go Outside

Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. If you plan on going on a sunrise hike or staying out late for a family get together, use extra precautions to avoid mosquito bites. It is heipful to use bug spray or carry a handheld bug zapper.

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.
