Mosquito Myths
Because of their ubiquities, there are many misconceptions about mosquitoes some of the more common ones include:
- Bug zappers are effective against mosquitoes – bug zappers do not control mosquitoes and can reduce the populations of beneficial insects.
- Electronic resellers keep mosquitoes away – No they don’t; save your money.
- Residential vegetation can produce mosquitoes – They may be resting in the vegetation, but standing water is required to “produce” mosquitoes.
- Bats, owls, and other birds can control mosquitoes – Although they may include mosquitoes in their diet, they do not consume enough mosquitoes to make an appreciable difference in their populations.
- Some mosquitoes can be 2 inches long. – They don’t get that big, it was probably a crane fly.
- Mosquitoes nest in vegetation – Mosquitoes do not nest.
- Spraying for adults is the best method of mosquito control – Adulticiding is the least efficient method. Eliminating mosquitoes before they become adults is preferable.
- Mosquitoes can transmit AIDS – False, see above
- The Citrosa plant repells mosquitoes – Although citrosa oil (citronella) has been used widely as a mosquito repellent, the undisturbed plant itself does not release these oils and is thus not effective as a repellent.
