Mosquito Control – Public Health News

The emergence and spread of West Nile Virus may be the first in a series of exotic diseases imported due to the worldwide increase in eco-tourism and international air travel.    Malaria, Rift Valley Fever, Chikungunya Virus, and Dengue Fever are but a plane flight away, and public health officials at all levels are becoming increasingly concerned.    As our world continues to shrink, mosquito control in the United States will assume a more critical public health function – well beyond its quality of life role. 

  To meet these coming threats, the operational mosquito control profession in the United States, comprising over 350 local and state agencies, continues to mobilize its resources and perfect its prevention and control techniques – the safest, most comprehensive and effective of their kind in the world.   The integrated mosquito management methods currently employed by organized control districts and endorsed by the CDC and EPA are comprehensive and specifically tailored to safely counter each stage of the mosquito life cycle.   Larval control through water management and source reduction, where compatible with other land management uses, is a prudent pest management alternative – as is use of the environmentally friendly EPA-registered larvicides currently available. When source elimination or larval control measures are clearly inadequate, or in the case of imminent disease, the EPA and CDC have emphasized in a published joint statement the need for considered application of adulticides by certified applicators trained in the specialized handling characteristics of these products.   

Despite intense pressures to eliminate the use of public health insecticides, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and other public health agencies agree that it is essential that these products remain available for disease prevention.   Indeed, they emphasize that proper use of mosquitocides by established mosquito control agencies does not put the general public or the environment at unreasonable risk from runoff, leaching, or drift when used according to label specifications. 

  We already have the mosquitoes. We are continually importing the diseases they carry.   We must be prepared to prevent their becoming part of our public health landscape.   That requires safe, effective, sustained mosquito control.   However, continued public support is crucial for the success of each of these efforts.   We will all pay the price for complacency. 

Disease prevention through preparedness remains the mosquito control profession’s primary focus, and is fully consistent with the very finest traditions of public health.   Yet, the continued increase in worldwide tourism and trade virtually guarantees further challenges from exotic diseases requiring ready control expertise to prevent their establishment and spread.    Should these emerging mosquito-borne diseases of man and animals settle into the American public health landscape, particularly as an unintended consequence of environmental policy initiatives, we will have only ourselves to blame, for we have the means to control these diseases within our grasp.   We must remain prepared to accept and meet these challenges—our citizens and our nation’s wildlife deserve no less.

Bite-Lite® Natural Repellents- The Test Of Time

This evening, the Grammy’s paid tribute to several great artists who have achieved a timeless quality to their music.  Great music becomes classic by rising above current trends and fashions.

The Beach Boys and Whitney Houston were among those honored. Their music will speak to later generations as clearly as they spoke to our own.

Bite lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles will achieve the same timeless distinction; rising above the current trends and fashions.  It speaks to a society that has made a determined effort to go natural.   Key essential oils, when found in combination, effectively disable the mosquito’s sensors.  These natural repellents represent that solution.  Bite-lite® Candles  are exceptionally effective, smell wonderful, and look elegant.     These natural candles do not emit the smoke and soot that regular Citronella candles do.   

You can purchase Bite-Lite® natural repellent candles at your local retailer or online on our Products page.   Join the stars who named Bite-Lite’s special edition Grammy Luminary the best new product at the Grammys!

We had the pleasure of meeting some of these celebrities when they stopped by to visit our table and get photographed with our wonderful natural mosquito repellent Luminaries in hand.    Check out our CELEBRITY PHOTOS from last year’s event, where Bite-Lite was named the best new product amongst the stars.    Our revolutionary mosquito-repelling candles have been out for two years now and they have been a proven winner for retailers and consumers, alike.

Test results show that the active ingredients in Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Candles repel nearly three (3) times the number of mosquitoes when tested against standard citronella candles.   The unique combinations of lemongrass and spearmint essential oils are released through the patented Cloak & Scatter® formula.   When lit ahead of time, a pool of wax forms beneath the wick (usually in about 20 minutes) which releases the active ingredients to form a protective “shield” that discourages mosquitoes from entering the protected zone. Placing these natural repellents around you will deliver a luscious scent, sparkling flame, and protection from biting mosquitoes.    Bite-Lite®  natural repellents are sold through independent garden centers, hardware stores, outdoor living centers, other natural-product retailers or on our  website.   The nationwide buzz continues to grow.    You can become part of the revolution by using the store locator on our Retailers page to find a store near you or purchasing on our Products page.   Order your natural repellent candles today!
