1) Stop Mosquito Breeding
In Tamil Nadu’s climate, mosquitoes breed quickly in even small amounts of stagnant water. Break the life cycle with these steps:
- Empty and scrub water containers (buckets, plant trays, coolers) every week.
- Cover overhead tanks and cisterns tightly. Seal septic tank vents with mesh.
- Clean gutters and drains to prevent water pooling after rains.
- If storage is necessary, use larvicide tablets as per label directions.
For large premises (apartments, schools, factories), consider scheduled larval source management with our team.
2) Use Physical Barriers
- Install fine-mesh window and door screens; repair gaps immediately.
- Use bed nets—especially for infants and during daytime naps.
- Keep rooms well-ventilated; moving air (fans/AC) reduces mosquito landings.
3) Personal Protection
Use proven repellents and protective clothing to reduce bites:
- Apply approved repellents (e.g., DEET, picaridin, IR3535, PMD) as directed.
- Wear long sleeves, trousers, and socks—prefer light-colored, loose-fit fabric.
- For children, choose age-appropriate products and avoid hands/eyes.
Learn about repellent guidance: CDC – Mosquito Bite Prevention, WHO – Vector-borne diseases.
4) Keep Surroundings Clean
- Clear leaf litter and clutter where water can collect.
- Trim bushes and mow lawns frequently—mosquitoes rest in dense vegetation.
- Keep garbage bins covered; clean them periodically.
5) When to Call Professionals
If you notice frequent bites indoors, recurring breeding sources, or live near open drains/water bodies, book an expert inspection. We provide:
- Targeted outdoor fogging/misting plans (timed for peak activity).
- Larviciding programs for water bodies and drains.
- Preventive maintenance for residential societies & commercial sites.
