Mosquitoes are abundant, and thankfully, so are the ways to get rid of them. Mosquitoes are menaces both outdoors and indoors, thus, when it comes to management of mosquitoes, you need to consider options for both situations. Perhaps, the most commonly used action plan against mosquitoes is using indoor mosquito killers like bug sprays. Initially, as mozzie killers these sprays may be promising but these sprays are actually cans filled with poison. The effects of these poisonous chemicals are far-reaching, and definitely not limited to the mosquitoes. Bug sprays can cause skin and eye irritations, headaches, dizziness and nausea, weakness, difficulty breathing. Moreover, these chemicals will also harm your pets. When you’re planning on using bug sprays, you’d also need to consider outdoor mosquito killers, which is a separate chemical formula all in all. Using chemicals against mosquitoes just means more harmful poison for you, your family and the environment.
But what about zappers?
They look and work like a good piece of mosquito and fly killer traps. On the surface, zappers do seem like they are your best choice when it comes to mosquito control devices. However, when you dive deeper into the technical nitty-gritties, you’ll find out soon enough that zappers aren’t as long-lived as you expect them to be. On top of that, these devices toast, fry and shatter mozzies, leaving an unpleasant smell. Zappers need to be cleaned quite frequently to get rid of amputated mosquito body parts and it is definitely not easy to clean because of the mesh and not to mention, the constant fear of being electrocuted.
The Futility of Traditional Mosquito Control
When you look for “mosquito traps” or scroll through Youtube to find that one guy who has reviewed the best mozzie killers in Australia, you ought to have seen at least one recommendation for gnat traps as multipurpose indoor mosquito traps that work against flies and other bugs too. As lightweight mosquito traps, gnat traps work well but they aren’t as efficient when it comes to long term solutions for preventing mosquitoes. Additionally, gnat traps fail the test of being a workable solution as
outdoor mosquito traps due to their size and operation range.
