Today, Zumiaojun will teach you a few tricks
Scientific and effective mosquito prevention and control methods!
01
Remove stagnant water
There has been a lot of rainfall recently, which is prone to the formation of stagnant water. Stagnant water in all kinds of corners, even a small hole or bottle cap, can become a place for mosquitoes to lay eggs.
If you want to effectively and scientifically prevent and control mosquitoes, the key step is to clean up the stagnant water!
indoors
Plant water change: Aquatic plants should be regularly changed and bottled (at least once a week) to avoid stagnant water on the bottom of the pot.
Water accumulation in electrical appliances: Clean up water accumulation in air conditioners, water dispenser trays, etc. in a timely manner.
Balcony containers: pay attention to cleaning up water containers in open spaces such as balconies or window sills; Use containers should be placed in a garbage bin with a lid or placed upside down in a rainproof place.
outside
Sealing: Cover water tanks, water tanks and other water-containing utensils.
Filling: filling in potholes, waste ponds, ditches, bamboo holes, tree holes, etc.
Dredging: Dredging ditches, shore silt and weeds, etc.
Drainage: Drain stagnant water that may breed mosquitoes, including the front and back of houses, gardens/balconies/rooftops, pools/aquaponic plants, bamboo tubes/tree holes/tyres, construction sites and green belts.
Clear: All kinds of idle pots and cans, beverage cans, food boxes, glass bottles and other waste containers should be removed or placed upside down in time.
02
Physical anti-bite
Physical isolation
Installation: Installation of screen doors, screen windows, mosquito nets. Spraying insecticide on screen windows is more effective.
Outdoor protection
Isolation: It is recommended to wear light-colored long-sleeved pants when going out to reduce skin exposure. Infants and toddlers should be given physical mosquito protection during outdoor activities, including wearing loose mosquito protection clothing and pants, and using gauze towels or small mosquito nets on strollers.
Repellent: Mosquito repellent products containing DEET and DEET can be used on exposed skin and clothing.
Avoidance: Avoid staying in shade, grass, gazebos and other outdoor shady places during frequent mosquito infests (7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.).
03
How to kill mosquitoes
Indoor mosquito control is mainly based on electric mosquito swatters, mosquito killer lamps, etc., which can be supplemented by electric mosquito coils.
Stagnant water that cannot be removed can be treated with sanitary insecticides that are regularly sold in the market to reduce mosquito breeding.
When the mosquito density is high, or when there is an epidemic of mosquito-borne infectious diseases such as dengue fever in the local area, it is necessary to purchase regular sanitary insecticide products to control mosquitoes, reduce mosquito density, and prevent mosquito-borne infectious diseases.
04
Go out and travel
✔ "Two preparations" before going out
Learn about the local dengue outbreak. Prepare insect repellents containing DEET and DEET.
✔ "Three Attentions" in the Journey
Pay attention to mosquito bites. Apply insect repellent to exposed parts of the body and reapply it according to the instructions in a timely manner. When mosquitoes are frequent, avoid staying in the shade of trees, grass, gazebos, etc. Try to stay in an environment with screens and doors, and use mosquito nets and mosquito coils when sleeping.
Pay attention to mosquito breeding. Clean up the indoor and outdoor water in the living area to avoid mosquito breeding.
Pay attention to seek medical attention promptly. If you have symptoms such as fever, seek medical attention immediately.
✔ "Three Attentions" after returning to China
Pay attention when entering the country, and report to customs immediately if you have a fever.
Pay attention within 14 days after returning to China, and if you have a fever, go to a regular hospital immediately and inform your travel history to avoid delaying the illness and causing severe illness.
Pay attention to removing stagnant water and mosquitoes from your home to protect your family's health.
05
What to do after being bitten
If you are bitten by a mosquito, do not scratch repeatedly to avoid local infection or allergic dermatitis. Usually after 10 to 15 minutes, the itching will subside significantly. If the itching is unbearable, it can be washed with soapy water or salt water to relieve the itching. If the redness and swelling spread and the oozing does not stop, you should seek medical attention promptly.
