Mosquito Nets

A Mosquito Net offers protection against mosquitoes, flies and other insects, thereby defending against diseases such as malaria. It’s fine, see-through mesh construction stops many insects from biting and disturbing the person using the net while facilitating free flow of air.

Insecticide Treated Mosquito Nets (ITNs)

Mosquitoes are very adept to finding holes or other ways into nets and bite arms or legs which rest against the net during night. These problems can be prevented by treating the Mosquito Bed Nets. The nets are soaked in a ‘pyrethroid’ insecticide that saturates every part of the net and remains when the net dries. This treatment is called impregnation and these treated nets are called Impregnated Mosquito Nets. The insecticides used are safe for close contact with humans but quickly kill mosquitoes, or at least put them off feeding on blood.

Long-Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs)

Unfortunately, standard ITNs must be replaced or re-treated with insecticide after six washes and therefore not seen as a convenient, effective long-term solution to malaria. As a result, the Mosquito Netting and pesticide industries developed Long-Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs), which bind or incorporate the insecticide such that it is released slowly over 5 years and can be washed at least 20 times with physical durability much more than the normal ITNs.

There is a wide range of Mosquito Netting available, depending on requirements:

·         Baby Mosquito Nets for covering cots, playpens, prams and pushchairs.

·         Some Mosquito Nets are designed to make very attractive features in the bedroom while still giving the protection one needs. ‘Venice’ & ‘Mykonos’ are two of such kinds.

·         Mosquito Tents simply spring open and pop into shape automatically when unpacked, and are then fixed in place; ‘Santorini’ is one such kind. 

·         Travel Mosquito Nets are useful when moving about from place to place, when camping, or for using outside in the garden, as there is minimal hanging/fixing to do.

·         Mosquito Hammock is a cocoon that encloses a hammock. It keeps out the bugs & protects from the tiniest insects.

·         Mosquito Bands or Anti-insect Bands are safe and simply worn on the wrist or ankle for protection up to 48 hours. The natural citronella oil fragrance helps repel mosquitoes and other flying insects.

All these aids are nothing but a solution to attaining freedom from the disturbing buzzing sounds and ensuring a sound problem-free sleep.

Insect Repellent Techniques : Make Your Own Mosquito Repellent

Mosquito Control - Tips for Backpacking

Mosquito control when backpacking isn't a minor issue. At one time mosquitoes were a nuisance more than anything. If you backpacked and camped in areas that had a lot of these pesky insects, you expected to be bothered. You expected to lose sleep even. But now mosquitoes in many areas of the United States also carry diseases that are potentially deadly. You need to be prepared.

Mosquito control, then, is important, and starts with a little planning before the trip. For example, bring a mosquito head net if you will be in an area with a lot of mosquitoes. The lightest ones are about one ounce - light enough even for those of us who like to go really light. What else can you do to avoid mosquitoes or prevent their bites? Here are a few tips.

1. Always carry insect repellent with DEET in it. Others may work okay, but so far DEET has the best record for repelling mosquitoes and preventing bites. It does cause damage to nylon and other synthetic materials, however, so be careful to apply it to your skin, without getting any on that rain jacket or those synthetic shirts or pants.

2. Wear neutral colors. Mosquitoes seem to be attracted to blue and to contrasts of light and dark clothing. Stick to tan, light brown and beige colors as much as possible.

3. Cover your skin. Tuck pants into your socks and wear long-sleeved shirts in areas that have a lot of mosquitoes. Generally, they'll have a hard time biting through nylon materials that are tightly woven. Avoid fishnet t-shirts and other easy-to-bite-through shirts.

4. Set up camp in breezy locations. Set up camp in areas that get a breeze and you'll have a lot fewer problems with mosquitoes. Face your tent into the wind and you'll avoid allowing insects inside when you climb in and out.

5. Timing matters. Mosquitoes are more active at dawn and dusk, so avoid them by setting up camp before dusk and leaving by dawn.

6. Keep clean. Personal hygiene is an important part of mosquito control. Mosquitoes and other insects are drawn to the ammonia in your sweat, and the odor of your feet. Wash yourself regularly (in lakes and streams if necessary) and you'll attract fewer bugs.

7. Use fire. A small fire that produces a fair amount of smoke will keep many insects away. Use a few live branches from spruce or fir trees to produce more strongly scented smoke.

Mosquito $18.98 In this lively and comprehensive portrait of the mosquito, its role in history, and its threat to mankind, Spielman and DAntonio take a mosquitos-eye view of nature and man. They show us how mosquitoes breed, live, mate, and die, and introduce us to their enemies, both natural and man-made. The authors present tragic and often grotesque examples of how the mosquito has insinuated itself into human history, from the malaria that devastated invaders of ancient Rome to the current widespread West Nile fever panic. Filled with little-known facts and remarkable anecdotes that bring this tiny being into larger focus, Mosquito offers fascinating, alarming, and convincing evidence that the sooner we get to know this pesky insect, the better off well be.

Mosquito Magnet Lurex3 $32.99 Mosquito Magnet® Lurex3™, a patent-pending mosquito attractant, mimics naturally occurring human skin scents or odors that attract mosquitoes. It has been designed for use with all Mosquito Magnet® Traps. The EPA-registered Mosquito Magnet® Lurex3™ is the only attractant proven to attract the Asian Tiger Mosquito. It also attracts other species of mosquitoes that may transmit diseases such as West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, and Heartworm. The Mosquito Magnet® Lurex3™ cartridge should be replaced every 21 days. After 21 days of use, the cartridge appears the same; however, it will no longer be effective as the Lurex3™ will have been released. The catch rate will be reduced if the attractant is not changed. Increase your catch rate up to 10 times! Using a secondary attractant is critical to the performance of your Mosquito Magnet® trap. Once mosquitoes sense the carbon dioxide from the Mosquito Magnet®, they need secondary attractants, Octenol or Lurex3™, to hone in on the trap.
