Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes & Flies One of the most common insects that a human encounter every day is Mosquitoes and we provide effective measure for mosquito’s control. These suck human blood and are well known vectors of many dangerous diseases. A special larvicide treatment is given to destroy the larvae of Mosquitos in their breeding habitat before they can mature into adult mosquitoes and disperse. Adult mosquitoes can be controlled by contact poison insecticide. In particular, house flies transmit a wide range of diseases including salmonella, dysentery, tuberculosis, cholera and parasitic worms.Mosquitoes – adults 5mm. Tend to be found near still water where their larvae develop. Our guide to insect bites advises on treatment for bites.

Adult flies lay their eggs in moist organic material, for example, food scraps, animal faeces (droppings), grass clippings or dead animals. After a few hours the eggs turn into larvae, called maggots. The maggots feed on the organic material and grow quickly. After four or five days the maggots move to dry soil and burrow down into it and turn into pupae. A special hard protective covering called a pupal case encloses each of the pupae while they continue to develop. Pupae are brown to black in colour and can sometimes be mistaken for mice droppings. Flies feed by putting a special substance from its stomach onto the food through its long, hollow, tube-shaped mouth. This special type of mouth is called a proboscis. The special substance which comes from the fly's stomach makes the food liquid and the fly then sucks this up through its proboscis.
