Integrated Mosquito Management
We provide tailored and eco-friendly mosquito control in Sri Lanka. Our integrated mosquito management approach targets each stage of the mosquitoes' life cycle, including mosquito habitat elimination through larviciding, ULV mosquito misting, and thermal fogging.
Prior to selecting the treatment method, an assessment is done to determine the species of mosquitoes present and the breeding intensity. All insecticides used are approved by the WHO under the WHO prerequisite scheme, ensuring maximum efficacy and safety.
Causes of Mosquito Infestations
Mosquitoes prefer stagnant water to lay eggs and thrive in tropical areas like Sri Lanka:
- Stagnant Water: Flowerpots, water tanks, blocked drains, and discarded tyres provide ideal breeding grounds.
- Warm Climate: Sri Lanka's tropical climate supports rapid mosquito breeding year-round.
- Urban Environments: Construction sites and densely populated areas often have higher mosquito activity.
- Improper Waste Management: Discarded containers and rubbish accumulate water, creating breeding sites.
How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes
We offer a range of effective mosquito control methods:
- Biogents Mosquito Traps: Insecticide-free traps that use artificial scents and CO2 to mimic human breath, attracting mosquitoes 24/7. Reduces local mosquito populations by up to 80%.
- ULV Misting: Chemical-based ULV misting for eradicating adult mosquitoes, suitable for indoor application covering both small and large areas.
- Larviciding: Controls the growth of mosquito larvae by applying larvicide to places with high breeding potential.
- Thermal Fogging: Conducted during peak mosquito activity using hand-held or truck-mounted thermal foggers. Water-based fogging is recommended as it's eco-friendly with minimal smoke.
Questions
The frequency depends on the surrounding environment. Urban areas may require more frequent treatments due to higher mosquito activity. Mosquitoes can fly a radius of 200 meters. Regular monitoring and treatment are recommended during peak seasons.
Yes, all insecticides used are approved by the WHO and applied by trained professionals following strict safety guidelines. Biogents traps are completely insecticide-free and safe for humans and beneficial insects.
A combination of methods is most effective. An integrated approach including habitat elimination, larviciding, and adult mosquito control (fogging or trapping) provides the best results. The specific method depends on your property and mosquito species.
Remove standing water from flowerpots, saucers, and water tanks. Cover water storage containers. Clean blocked drains and gutters. Discard or cover unused tyres and containers. Regular maintenance and inspection are key to prevention.
