MOSQUITO CONTROL

Mosquitoes are the deadliest insects on Earth.

Mosquitoes are a type of flying insect that belongs to the Culicidae family. They are found everywhere worldwide, from tropical rainforests to temperate regions. Only female mosquitoes feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals, including humans, which they use to produce eggs. Mosquitoes spread various diseases, such as Malaria, Dengue fever, encephalitis, yellow fever, and Zika virus, which can sometimes be life-threatening. There are over 3,000 different species of mosquitoes, each with its unique characteristics and behaviours. Taking precautions against mosquitoes is essential, such as using insect repellent and keeping your living space free from standing water where mosquitoes like to breed.

Metamorphosis

Mosquitoes go through four life stages, beginning as an egg, progressing through larva, pupa, and finally becoming an adult mosquito. Female mosquitoes typically lay their eggs in stagnant water, such as rooftop gutters, flowerpots, open fields or gardens with water ponding, uneven scupper drains, choked drainage, plastic containers, and bottles. Flowerpots or vases left with water unattended are some of the most common breeding habitats for mosquitoes found in residential areas in Singapore. It’s worth noting that some mosquito eggs can remain dormant for months until they come in contact with water again, at which point they hatch.
