About 3000 species of mosquitoes are known of which about 100 species are vectors of human diseases.
Fat people are often more attractive to mosquitoes because they are larger targets and they produce more mosquito attractants, namely CO2 and lactic acid. So also active or fidgety people.

We offer services to avoid mosquitoes, use of residual spraying to prevent mosquitoes from frequenting houses and use of lavicides for controlling the larvae of mosquitoes. In a larger area like a form house we undertake to kill adults by fogging.
