A new weapon to fight West Nile Virus - The first ever solar-powered mosquito killer!


February 22, 2004--According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as of January 7, 2004 there were 8977 cases of West Nile disease and 218 of them were fatal. Although the number of fatalities had declined, the total number of cases had more than doubled compared to 2003. CDC website: www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/prevention_info.htm - community

Soon it will be summer and the mosquitoes will be coming out in full force again as in 2003. West Nile virus is spread by mosquitoes and can cause fatal inflammation of brain (encephalitis) or the membranes covering the brain or spinal cord (meningitis) in more than 100 bird species, and nine mammals, including humans, horses and gorillas. It is closely related to St. Louis encephalitis virus, found in North America. There is currently no vaccine against West Nile virus encephalitis.

Wherever there is stagnant water, there is going to be mosquitoes. But there is no way of finding all these places around your house and keeping them dry. Furthermore, it would be too time consuming. Currently there are many mosquito killer systems in the market but many of them are expensive, bulky and difficult to operate. These systems are so effective in attracting mosquitoes that you end up attracting more of the pests than you started. Now with the first ever solar-powered mosquito killer people do not have to worry about attracting mosquitoes at night. You can use the solar-powered mosquito killer anywhere in your backyard or take to the campsite. It is even safe to use inside your tent!
