Effective mosquito control involves eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed, using insect repellents, and installing screens on windows and doors. Professional treatments, such as larvicides and adulticides, provide targeted control. Regular maintenance and community efforts are crucial in reducing mosquito populations and preventing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
Mosquitoes are responsible for causing so many sever diseases like malaria, dengue, chikunguniya with which world is fighting with great efforts, they are causing more damage to human health day by day and human filling effort less. The world health organization is also trying to control thissituation but they also don't get satisfactory output,the patients of malaria, chikun guniya are increasing in large numbers. The anopheles stephensi species of mosquito is responsible for causing the malaria disease. The anopheles Stephensi breeds in stagnant water like water tanks,overheartanks,rainwater collected in tarpaulin,tyers & waterwells.
The treatment is divided in two parts-
The mosquito growth is through 4 instars: egg, larva, pupa & adult. Larval stage is the weakest stage in the mosquito life cycle & it is easy to control by spraying the breeding places thoroughly by using suitable larvicide. The water collected area & all water bodies present at the site are sprayed thoroughly by hand compression spray. The larval stages are completed in 4 to 10 days so it is necessary to treat the water bodies on a weekly interval.
Residual Spraying: The spraying will be done by using chemical having residual effect. All possible resting places of mosquito like labour hutments, garbage area, toilet, bathroom, darkened places, ducts, gutterline, garden area etc.; are treated by spray thoroughly.
Thermal Fogging: The fogging will be done by using fogger machine. The ultra low volume form chemical is used which is mixed in diesel. Fogging is done at the time of dusk hours as the frequency of mosquito is high at that time.
