There is something that an environmentalist vegetarian can do to get rid of mosquitoes? Next, not horrified. First, the mosquito is not within the food of humans, so the second condition is certainly met. For the respect of the first spry enough to not use chemicals, which produce effects that go beyond our real imagination would never have said that traces of DDT were found in fat birds at the South Pole or the Arctic ice? The insecticide through the rain ends up in rivers, there polluting the sea algae. The algae are eaten by small organisms such as crustaceans or molluscs, which in turn end up in the pot of fish. These then are the only meal of seabirds. Nice ride. And to think that DDT remains in each of them until he goes to settle in the fat of birds, causing them to death or sterility. Think then what can be unimaginable to our own little action, a small gesture that results in a sound that goes something like this: Pfff! A finger and Pffff! We believe we are out of the fly, the parasite or the insettaccio of our tomatoes, however well we are creating disasters larger than our finger. Spry for this chemical should be banned. But what about mosquitoes? I'm really unbearable! In addition, an animal must defend the rights? Of course not! It may well make war on mosquitoes following the rules of the game.
Each animal has its biological importance, this is a fact more or less apparent, although, frankly, the usefulness of the mosquito it is difficult to perceive. Prolific and is in excess in some areas, it can often carry diseases, perhaps this can be found a role: the demographic balance of existing species by means of deadly infections. Nature is unpredictable and do not exclude that this could be a reason. In fact, every summer we face a war against these creatures buzzing ready to sting. The meetings are possible with two possible types of mosquitoes: the mosquito and the so-called our local mosquitoes. The latter, active only during the day, arrived on the peninsula in the early 90's and makes her way slowly colonizing the territory. Much more aggressive than our local mosquito, the mosquito tiger attacked mercilessly our skin preferring the lower parts like ankles and feet. Mosquitoes feed mainly on plants, sucking the sap. They live in cool, damp places, but after mating the female mosquito begins to explore looking for blood for the eggs brought to maturity. And that's where we will become the target. The average mosquito lives a month and during that can lay an average of 500 eggs that lay in small puddles of water. But what to do to take away this insect?
PREVENTIVE WAR
The first method is very clever to fight the larval stage. In fact, using glasses or jars with water, you can create favorable conditions for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. Discard the water in dry land at least every 5 days to prevent larvae stop the aging process: it is very effective preventive action. By entering the trap and then leaves and grass will still be stronger. If you have plants with saucers, put sand in the saucer: it prevents the establishment of the larvae. Also prior to the fight may be used, especially in large areas of water, goldfish, natural predators of the larvae.
defensive war
But if your preventive war fails and you are unable to export democracy, then there you have to do with the adults. At this point plan to combat eco-show points against you and in this case, you must implement defensive strategies. Are commercially available traps for adult mosquitoes, which use carbon dioxide to attract mosquitoes and aspiration. But do not consider them objects ecological and above all fair. So? So the choice are natural repellents: in fact, many essential oils are valued by humans for mosquito repellents. In the market there are many natural repellents, ecological and without addition of chemical components. Among the companies that offrno anti-mosquito products is eco-friendly natural green, farm specializing in the production and cultivation of medicinal herbs and organic, with selections suitable for the production of essential oils. Among the products that are sure to help the diffuser is citronella which, in addition to perfume the house, take mosquitoes away, another product Zanzini, a spry to be applied to the skin and contains essential oils sage, lavender, peppermint and Melaleuca obtained from organic farming. Finally, for the post is PostZanza puncture.
But it may well be that, despite all these precautions, however, some mosquito is able to rinse. In these cases we resort to more traditional remedies: the suicide squeeze in his hands. Nothing unethical: also a judge would recognize that it is self-defense! Probably never be able to control the mosquito population, but 5 or 6 pieces a day is a beautiful trophy to be presented to dinners with friends. One method of clean, nonpolluting, and certainly no influence on the ecosystem.
SOME IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. As usual
science to our aid. And as usual, somewhere in the world, a group of scientists takes his life in some strange experiment. Researchers at the School of Forestry and Resource Conservation at the National University of Taiwan, have discovered that cinnamon is a strong antiseptic that kills the larvae better than any other chemical agent. Who knows, perhaps he has run accidentally spilled container of cinnamon while they were cooking, the fact is that a new spry may soon flood the market. A spry no effect on humans and the environment. Meanwhile, place a teaspoon of cinnamon wherever you found standing water could be a smart idea and extravagant.
university instead of Aberdeen, on the shores of Loch Ness, conducted an experiment on the preferences of mosquitoes. The results show that mosquitoes prefer tall men (without specifying whether blond or died) and fat women. Beware, though: before you do lose weight to anorexia or reduction action of the limbs, you should know that myself measuring 1.72 cm, not higher, and is one of the victims preferred by mosquitoes. Therefore I would go cautious with the results of this search. But one thing is certain: the mosquitoes are attracted by our scent, and certainly there are smells that are preferred to others. It also seems that many secrete a kind of natural repellent (beati!). If it is true that our body takes on a smell depends on what you eat, you know that garlic is a powerful mosquito repellent. So just eat enough to secrete an unpleasant odor reluctant to insects. Most likely you will be shunned even by your fellow humans, but many people are worse than mosquitoes. Perhaps he is good.
Finally, I conclude with a remedy that comes by zoologists at the Museum of Natural History in Florence. Generally are not patriotic, but the three groups of scientists seems to me more awake, and this despite the Gelmini! These zoologists, to contribute to the conservation of bats, have developed a bat box, a wooden shelter for these amazing predators insects. This retreat is designed specifically for urban gold. Buy a bat box hanging on the wall outside the house, not only significicherà have a natural ally to the fight against mosquitoes, but will also contribute to an important project for the conservation of bats.
