Our biggest enemies: Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are one of the major cause for various diseases all over the world as malaria, dengue. These diseases are really dreadful and may cause the patient to lose his/her life. But, if we are little alert and we pay attention, the growth and reproduction of mosquitoes can be avoided. For this, only few of the steps have to be followed.
You should not allow the accumulation of water. It is one of the biggest sources of mosquitoes as it is their primary home where they live and thrive. They lay their eggs only on the surface of stagnant water, so that larvae can develop. So, water accumulation should be avoided and even if it done it should be covered.
There are places where water is stored at large volume and can’t be always drawn out and cleaned. The best remedy to prevent growth at such places is just the addition of two spoonful petrol or kerosene for every 100 liter of water. The scientific reason behind this is that as the petrol/kerosene is lighter than water, they come over the surface of the water and spread over that. This covers the place for the growth of mosquitoes.
Besides, the surroundings must be kept clean to live healthy.
