From the moment you spawn, the clock starts ticking, counting down the moments when he slipped from the top of the food chain and you're just another link and fast food for their hungry children.
Mosquitoes, really disgusting! And as the summer season - as it comes. Normally irritating at best provide itchy lumps that swell and burn, and now those annoying air injection needles can load an even more deadly West Nile virus.
Most of us haveheard of West Nile virus (WNV), and maybe you think that only a serious issue as this virus. Also, you are probably wondering what you can do the work in order to protect themselves and others.

Mosquitoes need constant water to spawn. For those of us who work with this tire is a particular challenge. Tires are known to be well trained to catch the rainwater if left outside. Notno matter what position a tire that reaches only the rain fall.
A tire lying about not too long ago that a mosquito in order to use them as a land again. Within a week or ten days, what waits once simple and old tires, safe for proper disposal - is now a breeding ground for problems of air transport.
If possible, cover the tires to avoid collecting rain, better still removed old tires stored indoors, or in some sealed bearings, recycling. After all, oncethese little suckers will Luke (yes, the pun was) that will fly straight for the nearest source of food - and you and your staff!
