Mosquito Repellent Plants

Those small, annoying insects, mosquitoes, have always made us run for our lives because they are thought to be carriers of diseases from person to person, animal to animal and from human to animals. How true it is that in Africa alone mosquitoes that kill one child under the age of 5 each 30 seconds, are the foremost cause of infection and account for the greatest number of deaths all over the planet.

Types Of Mosquito Pest Management

The prevalence of mosquitoes makes it very important to know about these pests. It’s important to understand their breeding habits, their preferred environment, as well as the damage they wreak on our health and on the economy. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, and these eggs become larvae and soon turn into adult flying pests.

Hand Held Bug Zapper

If you aren’t already familiar with the electric bug zapper, you are really going to like it and if you have had one before, I’m sure you’ll welcome it back like an old pal! The electronic insect killer does just what it says it does: it zaps bugs. But it does it really, really well.

General Purpose Insect Repellent

The difficulty with all-purpose insect repellent is that no one insect repellent will repel all insects. There are so many different species of insects that nothing will deter them all. Some insects in some areas for example have been especially focused, like bed bugs in New York, and so they have developed a tolerance to repellents that does not exist elsewhere.

Mosquitoes In The North-East USA

Did you know that Eastern Equine Encephalitis can be spread to humans? It is rare, but mosquitoes can give humans EEE and at least one inhabitant of Middleborough can corroborate it. What is more EEE is worse for humans than West Nile Virus, which is spread by the same species of mosquito in the North East of the United States.

Skin Irritation In Dogs

We are inclined to think of dogs as being tough; animals that can take care of themselves; animals that are far more in touch with nature than we humans are and we sort of admire them for it, in a way. However, the truth is that dogs come under many of the stresses that we do including pollution and junk food, even though they do not have to do the nine-to-five or sit in traffic jams, which are of our own making anyway.
