Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes have two sets of wings. The second pair look like peg structures called halteres. Mating of these insects usually happens while they are in flight although it may happen in land as well. Female mosquitoes attract the males by the tone of the female wing beat. They like to feed on sweet food like nectar and fruit while the females of other species like blood.

Most snakes do not eat bugs regularly and likely will not eat flies if you try and give them to them.

the consequence of creep not allowing the mosquito to bite the king was that he bit the king before he was asleep which caused him pain then the guards searched for the victim and killed the louse

It wont stop the itching. The itching is caused by the saliva of the mosquito as it inserts its proboscis into your flesh to draw blood from you. Its only the females that bite. If you cut open the bits you will just have a bite and a cut. Bicarbonate of soda mixed with water will help stop the itching. visit www.insectsaway.com for more advice. Its free

No it is a myth that vitamin b helps in saving you from a mosquitoes. Infact mosquitoes bite those who exhale more CO2, which means those with a high metabolic rate are targets. So its best to grab a mosquito repellent if you are prone to bites.

No, HIV cannot be spread to humans from mosquito bites or dog bites. There are no animals that can infect humans with the HIV virus by biting or scratching them.

The scope is An insect repellant of biodegradable ingredients, primarily food products or foodstuff derivatives, that is safe and effective over long periods on animals and humans, wherein the insect repellant comprises two basic ingredients which are small amounts of a garlic extract component and a hot pepper extract component in a surfactant and carrier solution, preferably employing vinegar.

It requires no petroleum-based materials. A method for repelling insects is also described.

Go to a nursery for instructions (they have liquid solutions or sprays). Get some potting soil (the amount you will need.) Take the plant outside and gently remove it from the pot. Lay the root ball on plastic bag, clean out the pot (well away from your plant) with a solution of bleach and warm water and scrub! Follow the directions of what the nursery expert told you. Then spray OUTSIDE the leaves and flowers of your plant. It's advisable that if you have any other plants in the house that you also repeat the same action. DO NOT have children or pets in the area you are working and when you are finished hose down EVERYTHING that the bleach, and any solutions or sprays the expert at the nursery gave you.

one way is to leave water in some form of container once you notice that mosquitoes start biting, after a day or two you put vinegar in the water and throw it out.

Name of the mosquito is culex. It sits perpendicular on the wall. Female mosquito transmits the infestation.

One can find photos in a variety of online sources. A big one for thumbnails or other size photos (although costly) is "iStockphoto." Additionally, many pictures are available on Google "images" by searching "mosquito bite."

you can never fully get rid of these ones, try all you want, my advice is too try to make friends with them if ya can..... iam a mosquitoes best friend.. they are discussing taking over your neighborhood... buzz buzz

An Asian Tiger Mosquito weighs about 2.5 milligrams.

Topically applied camomile lotion will soothe the itching and that should stop the main temptation for picking at bites, sores, ulcers and scabs. You can also buy proprietary anti-itching/irritation creams and ointments to do the same job.

Tea tree oil, as an oil or in soap, can fight infection to the same effect, as can witch hazel. Aloe Vera, as a topical gel or in soap, soothes and promotes healing, again helping to stop the need to pick at the source of the irritation.

If all that fails, you can apply something unpleasant to taste around (but not on top of) the wound. English mustard around the point will get on to the fingers and then almost invariably into the mouth - ouch! Aversion therapy.

If you are prone to insect bites, there are studies that suggest it is due to your pheromones - hidden smells your body naturally puts out. These can be short-circuited with various natural essences and oils or with artificial bug-repellent creams and sprays. Citronella, which has a lemony smell, can be bought as an oil and dabbed near to where you are most prone to bites, repelling many insects.

Consumer,I guess.They eat other stuff,so yes.Thats a Very good question........

More bleach is required the older the larvae get. Older stages of larvae require a lethal dose of 250ppm so it is best to use this concentration as a one-off treatment. CloroxTM is 5.25% w/v sodium hypochlorite so this equates to 4.76 ml of bleach and made up to 1 liter of water.

Or just under 2 tablespoons (or 24 ml) of bleach per 5 litres of water.

This can be followed up with weekly doses of 50ppm bleach (or approx. 1ml of bleach per liter).

It is better to clean the container first, wherever possible as this will also help to remove the nutirents in the water that the larvae feed on.

Mosquitoes were not created. They evolved over millions of years to become the successful creatures that they are today. They are an important part of the ecosystem, and food to many other species, particularly amphibians, birds, spiders, and other insects.

Hey, the bad guys have to be reincarnated into something...

Yeah, if god existed he would have payed off my taxes already

find the standing water source where the larvae grow and kill them.

I found that a 50/50 mix of water and Listerine mouthwash sprayed on hedges, lawn, tables, etc., kept them away for ages.

The duration of The Mosquito Coast is 1.95 hours.

They are able to bite or penetrate through a thick head of hair because of their small size and their long mouth. They are little enough to get past the hair to the skin.

There are several different genera that mosquito species belong to, with some of the most common belonging to Culex, Culiseta, Anopheles, and Aedes.

yes,they do but don't be alert u can feed 10000 mosquitoes with just your blood

Mosquitoes seem to prefer certain people over others. I've seen it many times. You probably know someone who says "Mosquitos love me!" What's up with this?

My wife and I will be outside on a summer evening and she'll get eaten alive, while I'm standing there without a single bite. What's going on? She is Filipino and I am of germanic descent. Does that have anything to do with it? I think some person,s having suger level higher have sweet blood, which attracts mosquetoes more than a person having lower suger level and have tasteless blood.

will bleach kill mosquitoes? and do they breed in ivy? i have tons of mosquitoes outside near lots of ivy. i can't let my children play in our yard because of the abundance of mosquitoes. can i put bleach in a garden sprayer and connect to hose and spray all the ivy area down to kill mosquitoes?
