Mosquitoes around the home can be reduced significantly by minimizing the amount of standing water available for mosquito breeding. Residents are urged to reduce standing water around the home in a variety of ways.
The best way is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.This can be accomplished using personal protecting while outdoors when mosquitoes are present. Treated bed nets should be used sleeping. Mosquito repellent should be used when outdoor.
Mosquitoes do not actually "bite" humans; they "feed" on them. Female mosquitoes require protein to produce thier eggs and obtain this protein from the blood of humans and other animals.
At ExxonMobil, we are doing our part to end the malaria epidemic that's affected the world for centuries. Partnering with UN agencies, governments and nonprofits, we're working to save lives from this deadly but preventable dissease.
Thanks to increased awareness, wider distribution of bed nets and improved diagnostics and treaments, malaria deaths decreasedd by 20% during the past decade - in some countries cases fell by as much as 50%
ExxonMobil has contributed more that $100 million towards the fight against malaria across sub-Saharan Africa and in the South Pacific.
