breeding environments. Consider
that almost each and every time a
female mosquito extracts a blood
meal from a human, they fly off
and lay up to 200 eggs.
Minimizing standing water is one
of the keys to effective mosquito
management. Bird baths,
obstructed roof gutters and junk
littered around the yard make ideal
mosquito larvae habitats.
Considered primarily as a
defence or personal shield against,
irritating and painful bites, the use
of repellent also has an impact on
mosquito populations. Dr.
Surgeoner, widely known for his
research on repellents, says ''using
a repellent keeps you bite-free
while offering the dual benefit of
denying the biting fly its dinner."
When purchasing a repellent, Dr.
Surgeoner advises consumers to
avoid gimmicks and home reme-
dies and to stick to well known
products with a government-
assigned PCP number. "The PCP
number is the consumer's assurance
that the repellent meets or exceeds
stipulated repellency and safety
standards."
Different repellents are appro-
priate for each outdoor situation.
For relaxing on the deck or
cheering on the kids at the
neighbourhood diamond, a
backyard repellent is the
recommended solution.
When heading into more serious
insect country, higher-strength
repellents are suggested because
they provide the longest lasting
protection available against the
gamut of biting bugs.
More advice for people venturing
into the bush is to pack unscented
soap and to wash often. Sweat that
accumulates over successive days
can be a strong mosquito attractant.
Smelling like a rose may not be
much better. Highly-scented
toiletries are a moderate attractant
to mosquitoes.
