Elite Corporation has the expertise to deal with mosquito control. When it comes to mosquito control, Elite Corporation is India’s most professional service provider approved by Mumbai Municipal Corporation.
Menace and cure
 It is important to control
pests before it causes damage
to one's health. Act now,
before it is too late, warns
Jaldhi R Trivedi, Vice president
of Indian Pest Control
Association.
DURING THE monsoon season, due to
water accumulation at various places, especially
at construction sites, mosquitoes
breed as they offer ideal conditions. It is
common knowledge that on account of
this, many diseases are transmitted.
Controlling the diseases may be difficult,
though not impossible, if these pests are
controlled by professional Pest
Management personnel. Most municipal
corporations are aware of the important
nature of their work.
Mosquitoes, besides being a nuisance to
mankind, play a major role in the transmission
of deadly diseases, including malaria,
filariasis, dengue/dengue hemorrhagic
fever (DHF), Japanese encephalitis (JE),
etc., thus causing high morbidity and mortality.
Adult male mosquitoes feed on nectar
from plants, while female mosquitoes bite
and feed on blood of humans and/or animals.
Because female mosquitoes feed regularly
on blood, disease causing pathogens
can be transmitted from man to man(e.g.
malaria parasites) or, in some cases, from
animal to man (e.g. arboviruses) via vector
mosquitoes.
Life cycle of mosquitoes involves four
stages (egg, larva, pupa and adult) and the
first three stages are completed in 8-10
days under optimum conditions. The
immature stages (eggs, larvae and pupa)
are always closely associated with water.
Since mosquitoes undergo a complete
metamorphosis during their life cycle, there
are two completely separate environments
in which the pest problem can be controlled,
mainly:
a) Tracing and larviciding the breeding
sites of mosquitoes, and
b) Residual spraying of the adult resting
places with insecticides.
AS PER MUMBAI MUNICIPAL CORPORATION REQUIREMENT, THE PEST MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL MUST
CARRY OUT MINIMUM FOUR LARVICIDE
TREATMENT IN A MONTH i.e., ONE LARVICIDE
TREATMENT PERWEEK. FOGGING TREATMENT
SHOULD BE DONE ONCE OR TWICE IN A MONTH.
DEPENDING UPON SITE PROGRESS, TO GET RID
OF MOSQUITOES.
