Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance. They spread dangerous diseases such as dengue, malaria and yellow fever. According to the CDC, approximately 400 million people worldwide are infected with dengue virus every year, of which 100 million become seriously ill and 21,000 people die.

Mosquitoes are also notoriously difficult to get rid of for several reasons:

• They develop from eggs to adults in just six to ten days.
• Female mosquitoes need less than ½ tablespoon of stagnant water to lay eggs.
• Many traditional treatments, such as fogging, target just one part of the mosquito life cycle making it difficult to keep mosquito populations under control in the long term.

The key to managing mosquito populations lies in understanding their behavior and using an integrated approach that targets every stage of their lifecycle.
