How to get rid of mosquitoes in your Home?

-
Keeping mosquitoes at bay is a comparatively simple task and can be done making a few changes here and there, which is an excellent thing right? The following home remedies for mosquitoes mentioned in this cannot completely exterminate these biting insects from your house. If you have a mosquito issue, your best option is to contact your local pest control service provider to control the problem. Also, visit your local pharmacy for antimalarial prophylaxis to prevent your health from potential malaria infection. You can also follow the following five tips to prevent mosquitoes in your house.

1. Green fingers
Getting your green fingers out is a right way to help prevent mosquitoes. During the day, vegetation such as plants and long grass offer mosquitoes with a great place to rest and endure hot temperatures without thoroughly drying out. So, try to maintain your home garden regularly. Keep the garden grass short up to around 3 inches in height and keep bushes and plants trimmed.

2. Invest in a fan
During the summertime, there’s nothing useful than cooling down with a fan. But did you know these fabulous inventions can also assist to prevent mosquitoes? Mosquitoes are weak flyers. So ceiling fans, desk fans, and tower fans can help to repel mosquitoes by making it very challenging for them to fly, forcing them out of your room.

3. Get rid of water
Standing water found in buckets drains, watering cans, etc. offer mosquitoes with a perfect area to lay their eggs. So, you should remove any standing water which might have collected in and around your home and garden.

4. Don’t forget the birds
While we are discussing the topic of standing water, we mustn’t forget the bird baths. These can be excellent additions to any garden, but the downside is, as you’ve apparently guessed, they offer mosquitoes a great place to breed. But, cleaning the bird bath regularly and replacing the water at least once a week can help prevent breeding of such biting insects.

5. Protect your pond
Ponds also provide mosquitoes with another chance to lay their eggs. Luckily, you can do to stop your pond from turning into a mosquito breeding ground. Pretty much, mosquitoes aren’t big fans of laying their eggs in the moving water so installing a beautiful fountain, or a water agitator will help deter mosquitoes in your garden.

A defibrillator is a medical technique which is used to prevent ventricular fibrillation which is a common cause of cardiac arrest. The use of defibrillator is quite easy. However, due to the lack of knowledge many people use it in the wrong way. Here are the things you should check before using it. If you find someone having difficulty in breathing or choking due to the inability to breathe, calling the emergency number is the call of time. Other than that, you can start the CPR to keep a continuous supply of blood within the body. On the contrary, without CPR, the chance of death increases for the person. In case you're without anyone else, don't stop the CPR to go and get a defibrillator. In case it is not available, send another person to find the same for you. When you call 999, the administrator can let you know whether there's a community defibrillator close-by. When you open the equipment as provided by the defibri...
