Mosquito Management by PECOPP

Our services against mosquitoes are scheduled for the time of day when mosquitoes are active as that is a sure method to control these pests.  We also interact with our customers to make them stop water stagnation  that female mosquitoes use to lay eggs. .

Our spray-based mosquito management solution

For the individual home owner, we recommend the Indoor Residual Spray (IRS) within their homes.

Mosquitoes are wide ranging pests and a community approach effectively tackles them in an apartment community or other types of residential premises.

PECOPP sprays a colourless and odourless insecticide on the walls to kill mosquitoes that rest on them. With newer pesticides, treatment with residual effect of three months is now possible.  By residual effect  a pesticide kills mosquitoes for ninety days from date of our application.

• Our thermal-fogging based mosquito management solution

We control outdoor adult moquitoes by thermal fogging application of chemical pesticides aerially. Adult mosquitoes in the air die when they contact with the pesticide in the hot-fog. .

Thermal fogging creates dense fog-clouds to kill mosquitoes by an ultra-fine aerosol of the chemical pesticide.

• Our misting-based mosquito management solution

Cold fogging or misting is effective to control flying adult mosquitoes in the open or closed commercial areas.  PECOPP’s specialised misting system has spray nozzles mounted at the perimeter of a site like a  lawn, or on parts of the house or fencing. The spray nozzles are connected by a tube to a supply of water-based insecticide that kills mosquitoes on contact.

PECOPP is a pioneer in cold fogging technology and  deploys expensive equipment and chemical pesticide for such treatment.  Our cold fogging machine uses no petrol or diesel and the pesticide we use, Aqua K-othrine, is water soluble.  Cold fogs  are an effective, environment friendly way to control mosquitoes and safer than conventional thermal fogs.

• Our larviciding based mosquito management solution

In this treatment, PECOPP team creates films of pesticides on the surface of standing water at mosquito breeding sites. The pesticide-film reduces surface tension of the water, and prevents mosquito larvae and pupae from surfacing to breathe.   Larviciding effectively contains the mosquitoes  by preventing adult mosquito development.

We advise customers to stop mosquito breeding by filling potholes or removing containers with water. The recommended frequency of larviciding is  monthly.

We sell mosquito traps which one can use in their kitchen, at a restaurant, pharmaceutical unit, hospital, operation theatre, sweet shop, food industry, brewery, dairy, farmhouse and other places where mosquitoes are a problem.

Let’s dive into more facts and trivia about mosquito !

Life cycle and biology

Mosquitoes are very weak flyers. Only the female mosquito bites people as the males do not have piercing mouthparts. Female mosquitoes feed on human blood for protein to lay eggs.

An adult lays 100-300 eggs approximately.

A female mosquito can lay eggs in as little as one cup of water.

Some mosquitoes even lay and hatch eggs in stagnant water from rains.

A rise in temperature hastens the mosquito reproduction.

Adult mosquitoes live for less than two months and their favourite dining time is dawn and dusk. Adult mosquitoes seek shelter in bush or thick weeds, caves, holes in the ground, hollow logs or holes in trees.

What attracts mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes find their victim through odours and heat detection. They detect the carbon dioxide we exhale and our sweat odour to find us.
