 The
annual arrival of flying and biting insects is
a nuisance and irritation to every man, woman
and child (and their pets) who long to enjoy the
outdoors on a pleasant summer's day. But what
has been viewed traditionally as an aggravation
and annoyance has also become a serious and potentially
life-threatening problem with the arrival of mosquito-borne
illnesses such as West Nile Virus.
In 2003, 9,858 human West Nile Virus
infections were reported. Insect control
has become a national priority. (Source: CDC.gov)
There are about 200 different species of mosquitos
found in the United States. These populations
of pests are responsible for illness in almost
every state. As of January 11, 2005, human cases
of West Nile Virus have been reported in: Alabama,
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut,
District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia,
Wisconsin, and Wyoming. (Source: CDC.gov)
The main route of human infection with West
Nile Virus is through the bite of an
infected mosquito. Mosquitos become infected when
they feed on infected birds. The virus eventually
gets into the mosquito's salivary glands. During
later blood meals (when mosquitos bite), the virus
may be injected into humans and animals, where
it can multiply and cause illness. (Source: CDC.gov)
Mosquitos can lay their eggs
in even insignificantly measurable amounts of
water, including fish ponds, bird baths, old tires,
tin cans, lingering puddles of rain, guttering,
catch basins, tree cavities or basically any place
that can hold water. The eggs may hatch in less
than 3 days, and the entire mosquito life cycle
can be completed in 5-10 days. This means that
the threat of mosquito-borne illnesses
are a continuous threat that must be dealt with
to keep your family safe. Insect control
measures should be a priority for you and your
family.
Mosquito and insect control products
come in many shapes, sizes and forms. There are
lotions, gels, pump sprays, candles, yard bombs,
propane devices – literally thousands of
different ways of attacking a backyard bug problem.
But none of them really protect you from mosquitos
and the diseases they carry like MosquitoNix’s
mosquito mist system can.
