Most people may think that only small vampires feed on human blood. In fact, only the females stick their small syringes, or trunks, in their skin – and bring blood to help develop their eggs. The lifetime of a female mosquito is only 3 to 100 days, but it is enough to put a shovel of lime in your enjoyment of summer. It is also time for a female mosquito to breed a thousand to 3 thousand mosquitinhos.Não take long for these little babies grow up too – they’ve become adults in less than a week. And if the majority of mosquitoes in your garden looks familiar is because they rarely travel farther than 2.5 kilometers from their birthplace. You may also have noticed that they tend to die at night. It is because most mosquitoes do your job as you or I – from dawn to dusk.
So what you can do to prevent these insects from infesting your home, and get rid of standing water? Cover themselves from head to toe?
Smokers and sprays are effective only for a few hours and are not exactly environmentally friendly. Electronic bug zappers can be fun for the whole family, but they actually also kill beneficial insects and attract mosquitoes without killing them. University of Notre Dame conducted a study that showed a 10% increase in the mosquito bites on people who had electronic bug zappers in their gardens or homes. Citronella candles and repellents in traps work, but only if you are extremely close to the smoke they blow. Repellent sprays are also an effective way to prevent them from biting you, but ingredients such as Deet has been shown to be toxic, especially for children.
If none of these methods to achieve a life free of mosquitoes works for you, there is an alternative. Not a spray and does not emit smoke or let the smelly air. It is a technology that is built into the clothes you wear: clothes are insect repellents. All you have to do and put them on and relax.
