Aedes mosquitoes are a very aggressive species. They are known for ruining perfectly good afternoons, picnics, and any other day activity, as they tend to attack during those hours. Aedes mosquitos are also known for being very active indoors, biting people inside their homes.

The Danger of Disease Transmission

Unlike other flying pests, Aedes is capable of biting multiple times. This fact is important to note because for a mosquito to transmit a deadly disease (like Zika), it must first bite an infected person and then bite someone else. Being able to bite multiple people makes this type of mosquito very dangerous indeed.  When you encounter an invasive species like the Aedes mosquitoes, you should come up with a way to eliminate them. Mosquito control systems will be effective and efficient while still being safe for people to be around it.

Stop Them from Spreading

There are different things you can do to prevent mosquitoes from taking up permanent residence around your yard and making your life impossible. Go around your property, inspect every nook and cranny, and eliminate any standing water you encounter. If you find standing water that cannot be removed, you can treat it, making sure no mosquitoes will use it to lay their eggs. 

Another thing you can do to standing water, depending on the amount, is to put a thin coating of natural oil on top (such as olive oil or vegetable oil). You will only need a teaspoon of oil per gallon of water. The oil makes a surface that the mosquito cannot breach, and when it hatches from the eggs and tries to come out of the water, it is trapped and drowns instead.

If you have no standing water anywhere in your property, you have won half the battle. Sadly, you cannot control what your neighbor does. Hence you need a system in place.

An Effective Mosquito Misting System

You may have prevented mosquitoes from making a colony in your backyard. However, they may still come over from your next-door neighbor. One simple and effective way to avoid this is to install a mosquito misting system that will kill any flying pest that wanders into your yard. You can set a mosquito misting system on a timer, making sure that every few hours your yard will be protected, allowing you to step outside and enjoy the beautiful weather South Florida has to offer.

Mosquito transmitted illnesses tend to be very serious and even have the potential of becoming fatal. Unfortunately, the St. Louis encephalitis virus is no exception. Just recently, parts of the United States have been under attack by mosquitoes carrying the potentially deadly SLE virus.

St. Louis Encephalitis

Most infections are usually relatively mild and result in fever, headaches, and general malaise, but these infections can be more severe, inducing tremors, convulsions, and even spastic paralysis and coma. Acute effects of the virus (such as neuroinvasive disease) are more common in the elderly. Rarely does it result in long-term disability or death? 

How Can You Treat It?

The fact is that there is no treatment for SLE. Doctors may give you supportive therapy to help with the symptoms, but the actual virus will be unaffected by any treatment. If you are one of the lucky ones who develop only flu-like symptoms, you will have to ride it out and hope for the best.

How Do You Prevent SLE?

SLE is transmitted by mosquitoes. They bite someone who is infected, become infected themselves, and infect the next person they bite. The only thing you can do is install a mosquito control system and put all your efforts into mosquito prevention. Make sure you have no standing water near you, and if you do and cannot get rid of it, then make sure you treat the water.

Mosquito Prevention

There are many different types of mosquito prevention methods out there. Some people will go out on their yard and fog every space where they think mosquitoes might lurk. This is not very effective. For one thing, you must continuously go out and fog your yard, and when you go out to fog the mosquitoes, you could easily be bitten. Same with applying different pesticides, you have to be present and actively doing something about the mosquitoes just about every day, and while doing so, you are exposed to them. The best and most effective system is a capable mosquito misting system. You install it, set it on a schedule, and forget about it. If you want to spend some time out in the yard, chances are it will be mosquito-free thanks to the scheduled maintenance. To engage the system a few minutes before stepping out, you can do this by simply clicking a button.

Imagine walking out of the house and seeing just about every surface covered in wiggling little creatures, this is what people in Lake County, Florida have been experiencing. An invasion of these blind mosquitoes took over the town and made life very difficult for residents. 

There may be many different reasons why these creatures come to be in such numbers. Waste coming from food processing plants, sewage plants, septic tanks, and even fertilizers could be in part responsible. The fact is that as pollution increases, so does the population of these blind mosquitoes. Responsible mosquito prevention is key.

Prevent Mosquitoes from Taking Over With A Backyard Mosquito Misting System

Knowing that mosquitoes increase in numbers with pollution and water, it would be a good idea to make sure your yard is clean, free of standing water, and free of any polluting agent that might help them thrive. Thankfully, blind midges are not bloodsuckers. If they did, a swarm such as the one in Lake County could bring with it untold health hazards.

Eliminating Mosquitoes With A Backyard Mosquito Misting System

Sometimes this is easier said than done, especially if the sudden invasion of blind midges comes from an industrial source. But that does not mean that your hands are tied and there is nothing you can do.  By installing a mosquito misting system product, you ensure that your property will be mosquito-free. When you have a mosquito control system, you can eliminate mosquitoes while watching tv, entertaining, or doing just about anything. With the right misting products, you can have your entire property covered with mist any time. You can either schedule a time when the mist will come on, or you can engage the unit by simply clicking a button. You can do this any time and as many times as you want.

Mosquitoes Are Dangerous Pests

Mosquitoes come in many different varieties. Blind midges can be very annoying but will ultimately prove to be harmless. Others carry with them viruses and deadly diseases. These illnesses can, at times, be lethal for human beings. Even when these diseases are not fatal, they will make anyone severely sick and will cause untold suffering. 

Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but a health hazard and should be dealt with quickly and efficiently. If you see mosquitoes near your property, do not hesitate to call SWAT Mosquito Systems®️ now and schedule an appointment to get rid of mosquitoes once and for all.

A British Biotech Company has been running trials on a genetically modified mosquito that could in time be the answer to the global mosquito problem.  Millions of people die every year from illnesses spread by mosquito bites. Malaria alone kills half a million people in Africa on a yearly basis. Not to mention the billions of dollars they end up costing the government and the suffering they cause among those affected.  Mosquitoes are, without a doubt, a lot more than just an annoyance – they lower the quality of life of millions and pose a threat to the health and livelihood of billions.

Could We Be at the Start of a New Age?

If the trials conducted by Oxitec are to be believed, we may be living in a time right out of a science fiction novel.  The trials they ran showed a decrease of up to 96 percent in the mosquito population. They achieved this by introducing the genetically modified mosquito into the population. As the mosquito reproduces, the gene that prevents them from living past the larval stage comes into play, decimating the mosquito population before it starts. 

If they can manage to stop a generation of mosquitoes from getting past the larval stage, we just might be looking at a decrease in the mosquito population around the world. If you live in a mosquito infected part of the world like South Florida, you would be breathing a sigh of relief right about now.  Unfortunately, Oxitec is taking quite a bit of flak from anti-GMO organizations, but with some luck, we might be looking at a mosquito-free world, or at the very least, one in which they are not such a big factor.

Will This Be Like the Promised Flying Cars of the 2000s?

Only time will tell whether this almost magical solution will come to pass or if it, like many of the technological promises the future always seems to make, will end up in smoke. While we can only hope that this solution will come to pass, we do have to take care of the present.

Protect Yourself Now and Hope for the Best

While we wait for this new world, we still have mosquitoes to deal with and we still have many deadly viruses being carried by mosquitoes.  In the meantime, the logical thing to do is to install a mosquito misting system in order to eliminate mosquitoes now.  A home mosquito control system will ensure that your property is safe from mosquitoes and that your health is safeguarded against dengue, malaria, Zika and the countless other lethal viruses that mosquitoes are known for.
