Mosquitoes

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?

Depends on the animal because each farm animal has different types of parasites that could affect it.

Mosquitoes live in many different countries. They thrive anywhere where it is warm and humid. Iceland is one country where there are no mosquitoes. Every continent has mosquitoes except Antarctica.

There are several differences between frogs and a mosquito. In fact, they are nothing alike. A mosquito is an insect and a frog is an amphibian.

Any insect has a fairly short life. However some live in forests in clusters for a long time. Generally a bee, or fly, is regarded as having an elongated life span - like the mosquito. However each one can die at any second.

The word mosquito has three syllables. The syllables of the word are mo-squi-to.

The benefit of mosquitoes is that they help keep balance in the animal world. Mosquitoes serve as food for frogs, fish, birds, bats, and many other animals. Mosquitoes are also important because they pollinate a lot of plants.

Not all mosquitoes carry a virus. However, where a mosquito has already bitten someone and then goes on to bite another person, some types of virus can be passed from the first person to the second person by the mosquito. One virus that is certainly transmitted this way by mosquito bites is the Zika virus but there are also others and it should also be noted that Mosquitoes can also pass on other illnesses with their bites (like Malaria).

Garlic, citronella, and other "odorants" are not as effective as DEET repellent sprays (e.g. Off products), which actually mask what attracts mosquitos: the scent of lactic acid and the CO2 you exhale. Mosquitoes will home in on both. An oily repellent product is not much more effective than a non-oily one, because the bugs will find unprotected areas.

I have no idea how to treat mosquito bites, and I wonder if After-Bite, an ammonia solution, isn't harmful to puppies.

There are so many contradictory "mosquito remedies" online that I don't know what to believe.

Baking soda, vinegar (?), and/or some ice might be a natural remedy? Some sources say tea tree or lavender oil.

Supposedly, if the puppy is carrying heart worm larvae, the mosquito might incubate the larvae and later transmit infectious parasites into the puppy.

It sounds like HIV activating into the AIDS virus, but what makes the larvae mature in the mosquito carrying blood?

It is not exactly known who discovered that mosquitoes carried malaria. Based on available research, however, the WHO discovered mosquito borne viruses in the 1920's. A number of leading scientists and researchers concurred with their findings. As a result, the World Health Organization and the CDC are credited with these findings and reports.

One can purchase mosquito netting from a variety of retailers. Online one can find this product from Amazon. Offline one can find mosquito netting from stores such as Home Depot, OSH, and Bed Bath and Beyond.

At 50 degrees F is when it is too cold for mosquitoes to fly.

in the back of its body see if you aggravate it it will land on you push down the abdomen at the back of its body and release the stinger into you're body but it will take the stinger back so it can release the stinger once again (but it can sting you more than just twice) but if you don't aggravate it or pass into its property it will not have a reason to sting or hurt you
