It’s an ancient struggle—man versus mosquito. Nuisance mosquitos plague the outdoors in summertime, particularly at dusk, when they’re most active and looking for food (e.g., blood). Other types of mosquitos carry potentially deadly diseases, including West Nile virus, equine encephalitis and dengue fever. In fact, mosquitos are considered the deadliest creatures in the world, causing more than 1 million deaths annually.1 Whether mosquitos are a nuisance or deadly, getting rid of them requires difficult field work.
