Mosquitoes: World’s Deadliest Animal
These tiny insects kill more than 0.7 Mn people every year and account for 17% of the estimated global burden of infectious diseases
There are more than 2,500 species of mosquito and most dangerous and disease causing in India are
- Aedes aegypti (causes yellow fever, zika, dengue)
- Anopheles (Malaria)
- Culex (West Nile fever, encephalitis as well as viral diseasesof birds and horses)
Life Cycle Mosquito prevention and control involves a basic understanding of their life cycle. A mosquito life cycle has 4 stages:
egg, larva, pupa, and adult
The entire cycle can take as little as four days or as long as one month, depending on species and temperature. All mosquitoes must have water for their life cycle. Most eggs hatch within 48 hours
The best way to control mosquitoes is to remove potential egg laying sites by removing any sources of breeding / standing water.
- Add drainage holes to structures or containers that may trap water (barrels, old tires).
- Change or circulate the water in pet bowls and birdbaths at least once a week
- Fill tree holes with sand, mortar, or place drainage holes to prevent standing water
- Clean roof gutters to prevent them from becoming clogged and holding water
- Properly dispose of all trash, especially anything that could hold water
- Keep weeds and other vegetation mowed and trimmed to minimize shelter for adult mosquitoes
- For areas with ponds, consider stocking mosquito eating fish to control of mosquito larvae.
- Use of larvicides approved for your area of application.
- Do not apply pesticides to moving water (i.e. streams).
- Always read and follow all label and zoonotic diseases.
Control programs for mosquito should focus on decreasing their numbers to minimize the risk of disease spread. Ask your experts De’Kriminators for free advice and site visit for inspection/recommendations.

The risk of mosquito-borne diseases is especially high in humid areas. In the more arid regions of India, mosquito infestation commonly peaks during and after the annual monsoon rainfalls. In the more tropic and humid regions, the peak of mosquito activity normally falls into the summers when high temperatures fasten the reproductive cycle of mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes have been in existence since the dinosaur era which is 400 million years ago.
- They are found close to still water, where their larvae feed and develop.
- They seem to be attracted to dark colours.
- Mosquitoes will normally bite you at dawn or dusk – mostly nocturnal. That’s when their internal clocks tell them it is feeding time.
- Mosquitoes are attracted to heat and they find lactic acid alluring thus would tend to bite people who had just exercised.
- Bigger people tend to attract more mosquitoes because they produce higher Carbon Dioxide and lactic acid.

Integrated Mosquitoes Management System
Mosquitoes are vectors of numerous diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, filariasis, dengue chikungunya. Most female mosquitoes require a blood meal before they can produce a batch of eggs.
Anopheles, culex and Aedes are the most common species of mosquitoes that spread diseases. These vectors develop through four stages: egg, larvae, pupa and adult, complete development from egg to adult usually takes 10 to 14 days but varies according to the species and temperature.
The best integrated practices can keep the mosquito menace at a tolerable level, but stopping the influx of mosquito is a very difficult task as they have various sources of breeding.
Mosquito Menace
Mosquito control can be very difficult but must be attempted to not only get rid of our homes and business of annoying bites but also to stop the spread of certain mosquito borne health problems. But even if we eliminate all possible breeding sites on our property, mosquitoes born in other areas will still fly to your part of the world. Therefore vector control measures work well when taken at community level. There are some methods that the experienced pest control operator may utilize to reduce mosquitoes’ pest problem.
Physical Measures
The best control mechanism is prevention. Eliminating all possible mosquito breeding sources – standing water, piles of cut grass and fallen leaves, cleaning fence rows of wild grasses and weeds, keeping rain gutters free of litter and other vegetation- is indeed your starting point in an integrated pest management program targeting disease carrying pests.
Indoor Mosquitoes Control
If we have an indoor mosquito problem, the best solution is to seal them out by repairing doors, screens, windows, etc. In addition, screen-like mesh wires obstruct their entry. If for some reason this is not always possible, we can use a space spray to kill flying pests.
Outdoor Mosquito Control
Control of larvae
Larvae breed wherever suitable water is available. To control the larvae, either the water has to be removed or insecticides to be used. Oils are also used to kill larvae.. However, the larvicide measures done in the water source take care of only the mosquito larvae and not the eggs and pupae already present in the water body.

Control of adult mosquitoes
Fogging: This method of outdoor mosquito control and flies control and other such pests is temporary but is indeed necessary in many instances.
Thermal Foggers:
The best time to kill adult mosquitoes by fogging is at dusk, when they are most active and looking for food (mosquitoes feed on human or animal blood). The aerosol fog primarily targets flying mosquitoes, which is why the timing of the spray is critical. A thermal fogger (as opposed to a cold fogger) produces a thick pesticide fog or smoke by heating the fogging solution. It produces a nice insect fog that is directed to areas where it would like to kill mosquitoes, and other biting pests.
During the fogging, flying mosquitoes within the treated area are killed. Although the local mosquito population is reduced for a few days, fogging does not prevent mosquitoes from re-entering the area.
Cold Foggers: This type of fogging treatment does not require insecticides to burn in order to create a mist or fog. This type of fog is considered cleaner and can be used indoors and outdoors to kill unwanted flying or biting pests.
Mosquitoes control measures always give better results in an integrated approach of prevention, control and source elimination. Any one of this in isolation provides only partial results.
How to keep mosquitoes away
The cost for any vector control treatment depends upon the area to be treated, surroundings and weather conditions. We carry our free inspection of mosquitoes infested sites and after considering the various factors submit the commercial details. However mosquito management programmes require frequent visits and treatments. We have special offers for large areas like townships, society buildings or other large buildings. We provide a full range of vector control services like dengue fogging etc.
