Have you ever experienced trying to eliminate just one single mosquito and you have spent your entire day hunting for it? Well, it can be very frustrating to feel defeated by just one tiny insect. Indeed, bugs can be such a headache so here’s what you need to do regarding this type of pest problem .
If you see one single mosquito attempting to bite you or any of your loved ones, try to grab it out of the air. However, you may not succeed all at once, except if you have already mastered the skill. Besides, moving your hand will move air to the mosquito, sending it a warning and giving it time to fly away. It can even bow out your grasp and this can be very frustrating.
You can employ a mosquito squatter. This is made of plastic or thick metal, mounted on a springy wire's end. Because of the swat's increased momentum, it increases your chances to kill the mosquito. Also, for a more effective technique, you can position your to do a similar flipping motion.
A double handed clap is also commonly employed. With the use of both hands, the air will blow the insect into the opposite directions, leading to your opposing palm.
As weird as it may sound, some people trap a mosquito by allowing it to bite into one's skin. According to an urban legend, once you flex your muscles or stretch your skin tight while the mosquito is biting you, it causes the mosquito's proboscis to get stuck into your skin. As it drinks your blood, eventually, it will explode. However, such claim is not supported scientifically. But as you look at this method, it defeats the purpose of killing the mosquito. After all, you are taking the risk of getting infected with the mosquito's bite.
Others opt to trap the mosquito using a cup. Some are just too guilty to kill anything, even mosquitoes. And if you are one of these people, then better catch the mosquito alive. Once you do this, you can then release such insect outside your home. You can use a cup made of hard material and place this over the mosquito. Once done, slide a paper under the cup. This will then trap the mosquito inside. Hold the paper on top of the cup and transport the mosquito to a new habitat where you think it rightfully belongs.
You may wonder why mosquitoes bite human's skin in the first place. Well, this is simply because they find protein in your blood. In reality, only female mosquitoes bite and protein is essential to empower their bodies to lay eggs. Actually, they would bite anyone with blood. Aside from humans, they also bite cattle as well as other animals. You can visit refurbished dynatrap to know more on how to get rid of mosquitoes. You can also click here to read more about it.
