Mosquito remains important in September

Nanjing Center experts remind the masses, as the southern region into the cool of September, the proper temperature and humidity will make the mosquito density reaches a peak of this year.

According to the center of disinfection and vector biology "pests" prevention experts Zheng Ping said, the relative increase in the near future, mosquitoes and recent temperature suitable for the southern region, but also continuous rain.

From Nanjing in recent mosquito density monitoring, annual mosquito density distribution curve is "double hump-shaped", respectively in June and September occurs around two small peaks, to September density is highest, even more than the rain rainy period of 6 months. The main reason lies in September compared to the temperature and humidity are suitable for mosquito breeding, moreover, is about to enter individual winter, mosquitoes to breed, or you can increase the chances of survival of the population.

About autumn mosquito bite hard, not afraid of people, Dr. Cheng is given.

He explained that, on the one hand, to mid-October the temperature will be significantly lower in the future, no longer appropriate for mosquito survival, therefore a large number of recent mosquito will store the winter of nutrition, blood-sucking, desperately looking for opportunities in abdominal fat pad formed, only physically strong, energy reserves rich mosquitoes can hide in warm place suffered throughout the winter; on the other hand after mosquito breeding offspring liqiu also need large amounts of nutrients, also need to draw the energy-sucking hard.

Dr. Cheng also especially reminded from Nanjing monitoring mosquito density, fully from mosquito attacks until late in November, depending on the temperature.

Recent weather and cool people like sooner or later, open the window asleep, so pay attention to the timely close window screen, especially in the mosquito's favorite out of the evening.
