When we think of the world’s most dangerous animals, we often picture big predators like tigers or bears. The truth is that some of the most dangerous animals out there are some of the smallest and most common in the world: insects. One insect, in particular, has killed more people than all the apex predators in the world combined.
With their constant buzzing and landing on people and their possessions, mosquitoes can seem like mere nuisances. But the bugs are actually responsible for some of the worst plagues in recorded history. Because they feed on the blood of their prey, mosquitoes are naturally designed to spread pathogens from one animal population to the next. As such, they’ve been responsible for outbreaks of cholera, malaria, and ebola, as well as diseases that originate in or exclusively affect livestock, like mad cow disease and swine flu.
Their ability to transmit diseases makes mosquitoes one of the most dangerous animals on the planet, and bloodborne pathogens can kill far more people -- and spread far quicker -- than the dangers posed by other types of wildlife. Health crises like those posed by HIV/AIDS and hepatitis can be worsened by mosquito populations.
Because they are known as such dangerous pests, there are a million solutions one can find on the internet for mosquito prevention and control. They range from somewhat effective to downright hooey, but we’ll walk you through just a few of the known methods out there:
Moisture control: Mosquitoes like warm, humid environments, and when these types of spaces are available in or around our homes, it attracts mosquitoes onto the property. Making sure your home has proper ventilation and pipe maintenance can reduce moisture inside, and removing puddles or ponds in your yard can reduce the same factors outside.
Lawn maintenance: As with many insect populations, mosquitoes can be curbed by reducing overhanging vegetation and by keeping a well-manicured lawn. Fewer places near your home to land means less ease for mosquitoes waiting for a chance to feed.
Tiki torches: Now for the less-than-effective options. There are all kinds of supposedly true accounts online of people warding off mosquitoes with tiki torches or citronella candles. Even if these methods work -- which there’s little real evidence of -- they only ward mosquitoes temporarily rather than curb attractants or eliminate populations.
