While COVID-19 remains in the front of everyone’s mind, the coming of mosquito season means that both people and animals are vulnerable to other serious illnesses stagnant water is available. Mosquitoes can transmit a number of diseases, including dengue, malaria, yellow fever, Zika and West Nile virus. Water provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes in numerous places, but measures can be taken to protect the landscape, water, and structures from mass mosquito gathering and the disease they bring, says David Anderson (www.horsedrinker.com), president and CEO of Bar-Bar-A, which produces mosquitoand algae-free automatic livestock drinkers. “Mosquitoes are a real threat everywhere,” Anderson says. “They carry disease that can affect humans as well as animals. “Mosquitoes multiply quickly; females lay about 100 eggs at a time. Without knowing the preventative tactics you can use in the many places where they’re attracted, it can be a constant battle keeping their population down.” Anderson offers the following tips to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds: Use nature. Mosquitoes are annoying to people but a meal to other creatures. Thus, nature is one of the best options for mosquito control, and creating a welcome environment for mosquito-eating species means reducing mosquitoes on the property. “Dragonflies love to eat mosquitoes and will attack them as both nymphs and adults,” Anderson says. “If you have a pond or other body of water, you can release dragonfly nymphs into the water and let them feast on the mosquitoes. Fish are also an effective weapon against mosquitoes; goldfish, minnows, and guppies eat mosquito larvae in ponds.” Disrupt stagnant ponds and swampy areas. Mosquitoes need stagnant water to spawn, and ponds or swamps are breeding grounds for them. “An answer for this is installing an aeration pump or a fountain,” Anderson says. “Those can disrupt the water and make it difficult for mosquitoes to reproduce. You can also reduce the amount of vegetation, such as lily pads, piles of leaves, and cattails that are either in
the water or around it. That will reduce the places that protect mosquitoes from their predators.” Eliminate standing water. If left, the water in drinking bowls, buckets, pots, troughs, ruts etc. can become stagnant and, therefore, a magnet for mosquitoes. Draining/refilling frequently with fresh water is one answer. Anderson says there’s a remarkable number of places to watch out for standing water —thus, more mosquito havens. “Empty or remove containers that hold water: tires, birdbaths, clogged gutters, water troughs, and feed pans, among others,” Anderson says. “Clean the birdbaths and troughs to prevent mosquito-friendly vegetation. Ruts or potholes that fill with water and should be fixed promptly.” Maintain the air flow. “It’s vital to keep the air moving in out building such as barns and stables,” Anderson says. “Stagnant air, like stagnant water, is inviting to mosquitoes. It traps moisture and scents that attract them. Use fans in barns and stables to discourage mosquitoes from sticking around.” Set traps. Traps have an attractant to lure and either capture or kill female mosquitoes. “If you purchase traps, check the label to ensure you’re setting enough traps for the size of your property,” Anderson says. “You can also create your own DIY mosquito traps. A Google search will turn up methods for making them. Just never place traps where people or animals gather.” “You can greatly reduce the amount of mosquitoes on your property, it just takes extra effort,” Anderson says. “But with the health of your people and animals at risk, it’s well worth it.” D. George Anderson (www.horsedrinker.com) is an animal advocate, entrepreneur and President/CEO of Bar-Bar-A Horse & Livestock Drinkers. A proponent for the safe keeping of horses and livestock, his company has pushed to eliminate the potential for shock and electrocution of livestock which stems from the use of water and electricity, and the proper management of standing water that can contribute to viruses and unhealthy drinking water for animals.
