Insects & Diseases
Mosi-guard Natural is effective against…
• Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are found almost everywhere and almost everyone has experienced the irritation of a mosquito bite. Nuisance bites are bad enough but these insects also transmit a whole range of serious diseases. Malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis and filariasis are all transmitted by mosquitoes and all should be avoided. Mosquitoes tend to bite between dusk and dawn but some, like the Aedes mosquito which spreads dengue fever, do bite during the day.
• Sandflies
Sandflies are tiny biting insects sometimes called "no see ums." They tend to bite at night and the bites are intensely itchy and irritating. These tiny little beasts spread sandfly fevers and a serious disease called leishmaniasis. They are small enough to fit through a mosquito net so ensure your net is impregnated with an insecticide like permethrin.
• Ticks
Ticks inhabit grass or scrub land vegetation, often in wooded or forested areas. When they are hungry for blood they crawl up the leaves of plants and attach to passing people or animals. When biting they stay strongly attached to the skin for many hours and are difficult to detach. They can transmit a number of diseases including tickborne encephalitis and Lyme disease.
• Midges
Tiny swarming insects that will be familiar to anyone who has visited the Scottish Highlands during the summer months. Bites from these swarming clouds of midges can make life almost unbearable. The only good news is that the Scottish midges do not transmit disease to humans.
