Anopheles

Mosquitoes are real pests, as they not only cause discomfort when they bite, but can also spread disease. If you suffer from mosquitoes either in your home or your garden, you will want to get rid of them as quickly as possible.

Mosquitoes feed on mammals, including man, and can be serious pests, especially if they occur in large numbers.

 

Distribution

Mosquitoes are found all over Britain. Fortunately of the 32 species found in Britain and only a small number of these bite humans and that is only the females .

 

Pest concerns

Female mosquitoes will bite people. This causes irritation, inflammation and sometimes secondary infection caused by scratching.

Although mosquito-borne diseases are common in many parts of the world, malaria is the only human infection known to have been transmitted by mosquitoes in this country.

 

British mosquitoes have a nuisance value and, in some cases, cause severe skin eruption and localised pain. Nevertheless, severe infestations can cause much distress
