    Currently before the Genericville city council is a proposed pesticide application program to reduce the mosquito population. The current pesticide of choice for this is Malathion. While there are many different viewpoints on the effects of the pesticide Malathion, it is my decision as a city council member to vote for the usage of Malathion as part of the pesticide application program. Included in my vote is the condition that extensive educational efforts are given to the public, notice of when and where the pesticide will be applied, and its potential risk and hazards be given to the citizens of Genericville.…

    Dengue is the most common arthropod-borne viral (arboviral) illness. It is transmitted by the mosquitoes of the genus Aedes which are widely distributed in tropical or sub-tropical countries particularly in the Philippines. The AedesAegypti Mosquitoes are the vectors of Dengue fever and the eggs have the ability to survive desiccation for long periods of time, allowing eggs to be easily spread to new locations thus contributing to the rampant spread of the disease when left unchecked. Death tolls in the Philippines over Dengue matters reached at least 42,207 dengue case, 193 of them fatal, had been recorded from January to the first week of June 2013 (Department of Health, 2013). This study uses the benefit we can get from the Makahiya (mimosa pudica) roots extract to prevent the propagation of mosquito eggs. This study will serve as the basis for future plans of action by the school administrators, community officials and the society with regards to the necessary actions for exterminating the mosquito eggs and larvae.…

    Most insecticides effective for household use are inorganic which tend to be harmful to the user and to the environment. Recent statistics show that 75% of households use some form of insecticide, with much of this being used indoors. They are used to kill ants and roaches, mosquitoes, flea and tick. By design these products are all intended to be lethal – to insects that is! People can be affected to some degree as all.…

    An insecticide is a substance used by humans to gain some advantage in the struggle with various insects that are considered “pests”. In the sense used here, a pest insect is considered undesirable, from the human perspective, because: (a) it is a vector that transmits disease causing pathogens to humans (such as those causing malaria or yellow fever), or other diseases to livestock or crop plants; or (b) it causes a loss of the productivity or economic value of crop plants, domestic animals, or stored foodstuffs. The abundance and effects of almost all insect pests can be managed through the judicious use of insecticides.…

    For the natural repellent with the most scientific backing, look to lemon eucalyptus oil, the sole natural ingredient to get the EPA’s (Environmental protection agency) endorsement. Numerous studies show that it works just as effectively as low levels of DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide) (7 percent to 15 percent concentrations) by masking the body’s natural odors. Look for a 30 percent to 40 percent concentration for maximum effectiveness.…

    Garlic to Mosquito

    • 661 Words

    Mosquitoes have almost no olfactory powers whatsoever--they have, in fact, a very selective and narrow olfactory "spectrum". But this is actually irrelevant; you see, the way a mosquito "repellent" works is NOT by being detected and driving insects away, but by blocking their ability to smell things that otherwise would attract them, so they ignore you. (In the same way, household "deodorizers" don't actually eliminate odors, but merely block your ability to smell them.) In the case of mosquitoes, the primary attractants that have been identified are CO2 and lactic acid, though there are other factors. The best substance yet found to block mosquitoes' powers of detection is DEET, and while a few repellents are equal over a short term, nothing even comes close in terms of residual repellency; DEET's effects can last for several hours, whereas even the best alternative repellents last at most about 2 hours, maybe 3, if you're lucky and the conditions are right. Garlic is only one of a list of plant compounds with similar "repellent" effects, including citronella, cedar, verbena, geranium, lavender, pine, cinnamon, rosemary, basil, thyme, allspice, and peppermint. But again, these substances have a very limited efficacy, in terms of duration, and if you are going to be exposed to mosquitoes for more than an hour or two, you should get a good DEET-based spray or lotion and stick with it. Products with 10% to 35% DEET should be fine under most conditions, and anything over 50% is overkill, except in unusual circumstances in which insect biting pressures are truly intense, or under conditions of very high temperature and humidity (e.g., working in a tropical jungle - and I know this from first-hand experience!). Repellents with DEET may damage plastics (such as watch faces, eyeglasses and frames), spandex, leather, and painted surfaces, but don't damage natural fibers (cotton or wool) or nylon. Most importantly, there is no…

    Rainy season here in the Philippines means bug bites and bug-borne diseases. Diseases like malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and such are caused by a bite of an infected arthropod. There are several ways of getting rid of these pesky arthropods and the most common way is by using bug sprays. Bug sprays on the market – including the ones with DEET (diethyltoluamide) – have been deemed safe if used as directed. DEET is an active ingredient in many insect repellants. According to a study in Duke University, DEET damages brain cells, can cause behavioural changes, and can have harmful interactions with some medications. It was also observed that it caused brain cell death in animals frequently exposed to or after prolonged use of DEET. Even though bug sprays have been deemed safe, we are still being exposed to chemicals that could potentially harm us. So, before you grab a DEET-based repellent, consider using a natural option instead.…

    According to Vargas S, she conducted a study entitled “ Effectiveness of Lemon and Orange Peel as Insect Repellent”. Lemon and Orange peel are good for our body and skin. Lemon peel contains Vitamin C and Citric acid which are good for our skin while an orange peel also contains Vitamin C. It’s said that mosquitoes and gnats are either repulsed by either scent.
