Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are definitely pesky insects that we easily get annoyed by. They can ruin the fun of being outdoors early in the morning or late in the evening on a nice day. The number of mosquitoes that are around in a given location depend on the environment as well as the amount of rain. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in water so where there is plenty of it such as in swamps you will find quite a few mosquitoes.
It is very important to protect yourself from mosquito bites. As they draw blood from the body they leave areas that are bumpy and inflamed. They also become quite itchy and can even have a burning sensation to them. Placing cortisone cream on them will help to reduce the pain from them, especially for children.
Many types of mosquitoes have been known to carry deadly diseases as well. You never know which of the mosquitoes out there may have them so always protect yourself. Where insect repellent that contains at least 50% DEET. You also need to wear long sleeves and pants to cover as much of your body as possible from them. Even so,  you need to spray the repellent on your clothing. Many of the species of mosquitoes can bite though thin layers of clothing.
Some of the types of diseases associated with mosquitoes include West Nile and Malaria. Both of them can result in a person becoming extremely ill. The symptoms are often similar to those of the flu initially. As they progress a person will start to have internal problems due to their immune system being weakened. Malaria also affects the liver which can result in a person's internal organs not functioning as they should. Untreated, both West Nile and Malaria can result in death.
In most areas there are insecticides used to help kill off the population of mosquitoes. One female can lay up to 200 eggs so it doesn't take long for the population to get out of control. Yet there is a risk to the environment, people, and animals from such chemicals. Many species of mosquitoes have become resistant to types of insecticides so stronger chemicals continue to have to be used.
Types of Mosquitoes
There are more than 3,500 types of mosquitoes that have been identified in areas around the world. Most of them are readily identified in specific areas. The majority of them aren't anything but annoying but they are about 40 species that are known to be linked to Malaria. There are hundreds of types of mosquitoes that can carry the West Nile virus with them.
There are three main types of mosquitoes that seem to be very dominate in areas around the world. They are the Aedes Albopictus, the Culex Pipiens, and the Anopheles Quadrimaculatus. The Adedes Albopicutus is more commonly known by the name of Tiger Mosquito. It is commonly found in various parts of Asia and carries some very dangerous diseases with it. There are many of them located in the United States due to the various imports from Asia. This type of mosquito is very large and even comes out to feed on people during the daytime.
The Culex Pipiens is the very small and common mosquito that most of us see in our homes and outdoors. They used to be considered quite harmless but in recent years there has been an outbreak of West Nile virus that is linked to them. These types of mosquitoes often are found in small groups and they come out after the sun goes down to feed.
The most dangerous type of mosquito is the Anopheles Quadrimaculatus. It is known to spread the very deadly disease Malaria. These are large sized mosquitoes and they tend to be out both early in the morning and after the sun goes down in order to feed. Only the females of this type of mosquitoes are known to carry the parasites within them that cause Malaria.
Researchers continue to monitor various types of mosquitoes. They want to know their life cycle and their feeding habits. They also want to find out what types of diseases they are linked to. They also continue to come up with effective ways to control the number or mosquitoes out there. You will find a general insecticide won't work well on all types of mosquitoes. Many types are simply immune to some of the chemicals that do work well on other types.

Tiger Mosquitoes
The scientific name for the Tiger Mosquito is Aedes Albopictus but it gets the more familiar name due to the color and design of it. This is a very large type of mosquito that has black and white stripes on its body. Most Tiger Mosquitoes are found in Asia but some have also been discovered in areas of Korea, the United States, and Canada. This is the species of mosquito that is known to carry the parasites that cause Malaria.
The female tiger mosquitoes are the ones that carry the parasites though, not the males. They are constantly in search of blood to feed on so they can produce enough protein to lay their eggs. These eggs are laid in shallow areas of water where they will continue to stay warm enough until they hatch. A single tiger mosquito can hatch from 50 to 200 eggs at one time.
It is very difficult to control the population of tiger mosquitoes though. They tend to be able to adapt to their environment with ease. They have been known to live in the warm areas as well as the cool air of the mountains. They are also aggressive enough that they will bite people any time of the day so if you aren't prepared mid afternoon you just might offer them a meal they are impressed with.
Tiger mosquitoes have also been known to become resistant to insecticides and chemicals used to control them. This means that future generations of these types of mosquitoes will be even harder to get rid of than they are now. One way to help control the amount of them is to kill the eggs while they are still in the water.
Many individuals traveling to other countries are encouraged to get a vaccine for Malaria due to the possibility of being bitten by tiger mosquitoes. They are also asked to take Malaria tablets daily for approximately 10 days. The symptoms of Malaria may not show up for two or three weeks after a person has been infected. They often resemble the symptoms of the flu so a person needs to really be paying attention to what has taken place in order to get proper treatment.
Killing Mosquitoes
Getting rid of mosquitoes tends to be a rough job sometimes. There are those parts of the year when you want to be outdoors but the number of mosquitoes will keep you inside. Simply smacking them can easily get rid of them but by then they have likely already taken a bite out of you. There are better ways to go about eliminating them. On simple suggestion is to use fly strips. They will work just as effectively on mosquitoes.
There are various types of insecticides you can buy to use around your home as well to kill mosquitoes. Make sure you spray them in standing puddles of water too. This is because there are likely to be hundreds of eggs in those areas of water. If you can kill those mosquitoes before they are hatched then it greatly eliminates the number of them you have to contend with.
Many towns and cities offer insecticides that can be sprayed on a larger scale as well. They often have trucks that drive down the streets in the evening to release the chemicals into the air. This is a very effective way of killing mosquitoes as well. You will find they often do this regularly during the summer months. They will also schedule additional sprayings after there have been periods of rain.
In areas where people know they have a severe problem with mosquitoes, the use of a larvicide. This process helps to kill the immature mosquitoes before they have the chance to become adults. These products contain various types of chemicals so it is important to know what you are dealing with. Some of these chemicals are illegal to use in various parts of the country so make sure you aren't accessing banned materials to kill mosquitoes.
It is important to try to kill mosquitoes as they are much more than just annoying. They carry with them various diseases that can result in the death of humans. You can contract Malaria and West Nile from mosquitoes that are infected with them. Do your part to kill all of the mosquitoes in your area so that you won't have to worry about contracting them.
