Indoor mosquito control

Knowledge you say? You most likely know that only female mosquitoes bite, but what do you do with that knowledge when you are am indoors?

The above knowledge is more for researchers and mosquito killing on a large scale, when it comes to indoor mosquito control: you need to know how to keep those few mosquitoes out of your house.

Because it only takes one Aedes Mosquito bite to give you dengue fever…

Indoor mosquito repellent

Mosquito repellent

Most likely just like me having had dengue fever twice: you have a spray with mosquito repellent. It’s ideal to kill a mosquito when you see it but can’t squash it with your bare hands.

The disadvantage is the odor of the repellent and I really need to look up: if the spray kills mosquitoes, how harmful is it for me and you?

Mosquito netting

A harmless and easy way to protect yourself against mosquitoes is using mosquito netting. I have them now on all my doors and windows and when you say: the natural draft in your house will be reduced… That’s true, yet a ventilator solves that problem.

Mosquito netting and indoor mosquito repellent

1 month ago I got a free bed mosquito net sample from www.in-tection.com containing a very slow release indoor mosquito repellent.

In fact the website mentioned on the sample was wrong and should be simply: www.intection.com.

They have the above 2 ideas combined: they made a bed mosquito net with a slow release insect repellant (Deltamethrin).

Bed mosquito net : at least you can sleep in peace

The sample they sent me measures 160×180x150 cm and is hanging above my bed (twice bitten makes me quite careful…).

One disadvantage (which doesn’t compare to having dengue) is that you need more air-conditioning to feel as cool as without the mosquito netting.

I just send them an email about how long this slow release mosquito repellent will last and what is the effect of the repellent on the human body.

We will update you as soon as we get their response.

The name of the Aedes mosquito comes from the Greek language, where aedes stands for "unpleasant".

Unpleasant is the least what you can say about the aedes mosquito: these aedes mosquitoes transmit the deadly diseases dengue fever and yellow fever.

Aedes mosquitoes have typical black and white stripe markings on their body and legs like so:
