About The Mosquito

With over 30 million years on earth, mosquitoes had a long history to hone their hunting skills. Today’s evolved mosquitoes utilize heat, chemical and visual sensors to locate their prey. In fact, these creatures can detect the chemicals carbon dioxide and lactic acid from as far as 100 feet away. A mosquito’s potent heat sensors easily locate warm-blooded mammals and birds while their visual sensors detect movement. A human is the perfect target: a combination of heat, light, perspiration, carbon dioxide, body odor, and lactic acid. Human prey without any type of protection is left virtually defenseless against this ruthless hunter, which is why you need the best mosquito trap. (The Mosquito)

Identifying Mosquito Breeding Grounds

Female mosquitoes lay their eggs on the surface of water. Most backyards offer a veritable plethora of breeding sites for multiplying mosquitoes. Wherever there is standing water, there is a perfect breeding spot for mosquitoes. These areas include ponds, irrigation ditches, flowerpots, tree holes, puddles, catch basins, birdbaths, pet water bowls, and swimming pools. Since a mosquito lays 100-300 eggs at a time, a few mosquitoes can quickly multiply into a swarm. Mosquitoes will begin breeding once the temperature goes above 50 degrees. That’s why it is important to start running the best mosquito trap as the temperature begins rising to help reduce the mosquito population all-season long within your yard. (Mosquito Facts)

Why The Best Mosquito Traps Are So Important

An itchy bump is not the only damage mosquito bites can cause. Mosquitoes are known carriers of many viruses, bacteria, and parasites, and their bite can spread disease from an infected host to humans. One virus transmitted by mosquitoes is Dengue Fever, which produces a wide range of illnesses in humans, from viral flu to hemorrhagic fever. Other viruses transmitted by mosquitoes are West Nile, St. Louis, Eastern Equine and La Crosse. Their symptoms include encephalitis, high fever, stiff neck, headache, confusion, and lethargy. The recent increase in reported cases of West Nile in the eastern United States makes the best mosquito trap in high demand.

In tropical climates, Malaria and Yellow Fever can be transmitted by the mosquito. These diseases can be severe, and often fatal, when contracted. Mosquito bites with their potential dangerous side effects can be controlled with the best mosquito trap. (Mosquito-Borne Diseases)
