MOSQUITO INFORMATION

MOSQUITOES carry many human and animal diseases. Mosquitoes will drill into the skin, pump an enzyme under the skin, pump up the blood with the enzyme. Most itching or chafing starts after the insect has flown off leaving some of the enzyme behind under the skin. The enzyme are where the diseases are transmitted. The common Culex mosquitoes holds the body paralleled to the surface. The Mosquitoes are the known carriers of Dengue or Breakbone Fever. It occurs in our southern United States, but is more prevalent in the tropics. Dengue Fever may be in all the southern states by 2002. Animal attack, mosquitoes bite all kinds of warm blooded animals, especially domestic and wild mammals and even such creatures as snakes and turtles. While the diseases just discussed are known to be troublesome only in man, mosquitoes transmit diseases of other animals such as Equine Ecephalomyelities and Bird Malaria.
FUNGUS GNATS insects infect plants and their root system with fungus. Importance is the type of injury to greenhouses and gardens; plants show a lack in vigor and leaves turning yellow, without visible unjury to any part of the plant above the ground or pot. Roots with small brown scars on the surface or with small feeding roots and root hairs eaten off. Very small thread like active maggots embedded in the root tissue, or working through the soil about the plant. Often injurious to potted plants. Root rots often follow the attacks of these insects. Hang traps inside greenhouses and around the perimeter of your gardens or home. When corn grows to within 1 1/2 feet tall, place traps around the corn field and one in the middle.
VEGGIE MOTHS Those that lay eggs, cut worms and stock bores. The larva of the Europen Corn Bore in the southern part of the western area, however, the insect is beginning to change over to a two generation cycle especially when the larva feeds upon sweet corn. The two generation corn borers are much more destructive since they fed on many vegetables and flowers as well as corn. After twenty lyears they are recognized as garden moth. Traps should be set out in the spring as well as the fall months of the year when gardens are seeded. Hang Mosquito Traps around the garden to catch Corn worms (bores)
GNATS AND FLIES all kinds of fruit gnats and pest that circle around dead or discarded veggies and fruit that is rotten and decomposing. Flies are looking for sweat or blood and the smell of rot, sweat, blood and breathe will bring the flies and gnats around. Wine is a favorite to gnats, and sweat and blood is preferred for flies. Set the traps near where the infestations are present. Cleans the area to reduce infestation.(use Mosquito Traps to catch Gnats)
NO-SEE-UMS, PUNKIES and SAND FLIES These blood sucking midges are not uniformly distributed but occur locally in numbers sufficient to make them most intolerable. They bite chiefly in the evening and very early in the mornings. Most species are attracted to this trap. They are most prevalent from mid to late summer. In some species the bite is very burning and painful, and the victim is likely to be astonished when he notes the extremely small size of the very small creature that inflicted it.(Mosquito Trap traps these insects)
