Getting rid of mosquitoes in your yard requires a multifaceted approach that targets both their breeding sites and adult populations. However, mosquitoes cannot be gotten rid of permanently. These persistent pests not only disrupt outdoor activities but also pose health risks. They carry and spread diseases, like dengue, EEE, and West Nile virus. Implementing effective Worcester mosquito control measures can reduce their numbers and create a more enjoyable outdoor environment.

If you ever thought mosquitoes to simply be a nuisance, or a necessary evil for our ecosystem, perhaps you have not imagined how large a problem they actually are. In the past, I have written about the largest mosquito and burgeoning mosquito populations. If you have ever been to an outdoor party and suffered a mosquito bite or two, you likely haven’t thought about how large their numbers actually are. Shorter winters and rising temperatures in Central Mass (and everywhere) have seen those numbers grow over the last decade or more. How large could the mosquito population be?

‘Tis the season for stressing over finding the perfect gift for every special someone on your list. Maybe they already have everything they want. Maybe they are growing out of toys but won’t appreciate practical gifts, like clothing. Over the last few years, families are realizing that Christmas often creates a lot of extra work. Clearing out toys to make room for new ones. Putting toys together. Forgetting to purchase batteries. Not being able to get your hands on the hottest gift. No matter the struggle you’re facing, here are awesome experiences that are sure to please!

According to the World Health Organization, there were 290,000 cases of malaria in 2019. This deadly mosquito-borne illness is nothing new. The parasite that causes malaria was discovered in 1880, by French military doctor, Alphonse Laveran. It took 17 years for Sir Ronald Ross to determine that this parasite was transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. He dissected the stomach tissue of a mosquito, which had fed on an infected patient for four days, and found the parasite therein. Since then, preventive medications and cures have been developed for this mosquito-borne disease. Even so, there are more than 400,000 deaths reported each year. These numbers are what make mosquitoes the deadliest animals on the planet.

Malaria is a potentially fatal mosquito-borne illness with a long history. The parasites responsible for malaria infection were first identified around 1880. Since then, mosquitoes carrying these parasites have been found preserved in amber, believed to be 30,000,000 years old. Is malaria still a threat? Even though malaria was eliminated in the United States in the early 1950’s, it remains a threat in other parts of the world today. There were more than 400,000 known malaria deaths throughout the world in 2018. More than 90% of malaria deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa.
