Mosquitos can be quite harmful to humans because they can

spread harmful diseases like dengue. Therefore, it is very


important to protect ourselves from it.
Firstly, we can start by keeping the home and the surroundings
clean. If our house is full of plants, make sure that there is no
water retention in the buckets or pots. This is to prevent the
mosquitoes to reproduce in water. Besides that, make sure the
house is tidy and disinfected once a while with detergents.
When we are outdoor, doing gardening, hiking or camping, wear
appropriately like putting on long sleeves and pants. This can
definitely help in preventing the mosquitoes from biting.
Remember to use natural repellents before going for those
activities. But do bear in mind that not all mosquitoes are
harmful. It is only the female mosquitoes that need our blood to
obtain the protein for its eggs.
Although mosquitoes suck, but eradicating it will affect the
ecosystem as they provide food to numerous animals and many
species are active pollinators of a variety of different plant
species. Therefore, we can only do prevention to protect ourselves
from being bitten.
