• Mosquitoes are the most important insect pests affecting the health of people and animals in all climatic conditions.
• Mosquitoes are vectors of diseases like Yellow fever, Dengue, Encephalitis, Malaria, etc.
• Most common mosquito species that affect our living are Anopheles, Culex and Aedes.
• Male mosquitoes feed only nectar, plant juice and liquid carbohydrate and they die shortly after matting. However females feed blood meal and will live for about a week to month. Some species live up to 6 months.
• Mosquito takes a blood meal as like that of a professional physician taking blood sample. It sucks blood by puncturing its mouthparts to the skin, injects a small amount of saliva into the wound and feed blood. The saliva makes penetration easier and prevents the blood from clotting during feeding.
• Effective mosquito control programme includes sanitation (removing food, water, and shelter), habitat disruption, biological control, mechanical control, self protection and chemical control.
• SIPC offers IPM package for controlling mosquitoes and flies .
