Why your DIY mosquito treatments aren’t working
मच्छर ट्रीटमेंट काम क्यों नहीं कर रहे?
If it sometimes feels like you have tried a million new sprays, balms and gadgets to get rid of mosquitoes but the problem persists, you’re not alone. The DIY mosquito control industry is a booming business with new treatments and methods being launched every year. The reason is simple – mosquitoes are hard to get rid of.
A plaster for the sore
Many DIY treatments offer temporary solutions and do not get to the source of the problem. While zappers may kill the adult mosquitoes in flight, what about the eggs they have laid or the recently hatched larvae in the drain behind your home? For permanent success, mosquitoes need to be targeted at every stage of their life cycle which is why bug spray, repellant and zappers can only offer momentary relief.
Why bug sprays alone won’t work
Bug sprays and fogging have been used for over a century as a fairly reliable method of mosquito control but their results are temporary if not used as part of a fully integrated approach. Fogging, like bug spray, kills adult mosquitoes in flight but does not affect larvae. Including larval treatment with fogging increases your chance of longer lasting mosquito control. A word of caution – do your homework when it comes to fogging to ensure that your provider is using chemicals that are safe for humans, pets, other insects and crops.
