Mosquitoes are not just annoying tiny things, but equally a problematic concern for all households. It is essential to take measures for mosquito control as they can severely affect your health.
Here are some reasons that explain why you should take adequate measures for mosquito control.

• Leading cause of malaria
  Malaria is mainly transmitted to humans through the bite of certain infected Anopheles mosquitoes. These mosquitoes breed in damp regions and stagnant water. They are active during the night time. A single bite will transfer the virus into the host’s blood stream, ensuring that he/she is affected by malaria. Malaria can prove to be fatal in some cases. Therefore it is crucial to take timely precautions.

• Dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever
  These diseases are also making their way into the mainstream. Infected Aedes mosquitoes transmit dengue and yellow fever virus. All these diseases are hazardous. Apart from these, there are several diseases that a mosquito can transfer. As mosquitoes come in direct contact with your blood, it can carry disease from an infected person and contaminate your blood. This may range from a common fever. Hence there is an increased need for mosquito control.

• Heartworm
  If you are a pet owner, you should exercise extra care as mosquitoes can infect your pets as well. Heartworm is a terrible disease that can affect your pet. A parasite is carried by mosquitoes that can find its way to the animal’s heart. This parasite can insidiously deteriorate your pet’s health. Therefore to evade such unfortunate incidents, appropriate mosquito control activities are critical.

To prevent the above-stated health conditions, ensure that your house and backyard is free from any sources of filthy water. This will reduce the possibility of mosquito breeding. Also ensure cleanliness outdoors, by regularly covering and emptying trash cans. If you feel that there has been a rise in the number of mosquitoes, then immediately seek for professional pest control services. This can help you curb any form of potential risks in the long run.
