Mosquitoes are a major source of disease in many parts of the world. They’re also vectors of malaria, which is a deadly severe fever. To prevent mosquito-borne diseases, you need to know how to recognize them, what to do when they’re present, and how to treat them. Here are several tips on how to prevent mosquitoes:
USE INSECT REPELLENT.
Mosquitoes are attracted to sweat and blood. To avoid getting bitten, it’s important to use an insect repellent that will prevent mosquitoes from biting you. Mosquitoes also like to build their nests in trees and close spaces where they can find water or blood. To prevent these nests from a building, put some mosquito repellent near your house or workplace.
USE A SCREEN DOOR
Mosquitoes prefer to spread their sickness by biting people who are outside. A screen door will keep them from coming in and transmitting the disease to you. It’s also a great way to keep your home clean and free of mosquitoes.
DISRUPT THE MOSQUITO’S BREEDING PLACE
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in the water. To prevent the eggs from hatching, you need to disrupt their breeding place. This can be done by spraying the area with a pesticide, by wearing a barrier that’s effective at repelling mosquitoes, or by using an electric fence.
USE A DEET REPELLENT.
DEET is a chemical that’s effective at repelling mosquitoes. You can buy it over the counter or find it in some health food stores. It’s important to reapply DEET every day, especially if you live in an area with a lot of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes will avoid you if they see it coming.
COVER CHILDREN WHEN THEY PLAY IN AREAS WHERE MOSQUITOES ARE PRESENT
Covering children when they play in areas where mosquitoes are present will help to reduce the number of mosquito bites. Mosquitoes love to bite people of all ages, so it’s important to cover your child as soon as possible. Wearing long-sleeve clothes and spraying them with a repellent will keep them from coming into contact with mosquitoes.
GET VACCINATED FOR MALARIA.
To prevent mosquitoes from spreading disease, you need to be vaccinated for malaria. Malaria is caused by a parasite that lives in the mosquito. The vaccine available today protects you against the most common form of malaria, P. vivax, which is the type that can spread to people.
CONCLUSION
Mosquitoes are serious pests and can cause serious health problems if not controlled. To keep mosquitoes at bay, it’s important to use common sense and take some preventative measures. Spraying insect repellents, closing screens, and getting vaccinated are all good ways to do this.
