With the current surge in mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile, consumers are demanding an effective solution to eliminate mosquitoes and other insect pests from their yards. Abatement products like Mosquito 86 help keep children and the elderly better protected, which is important because they are most prone to the effects of these ailments. At the same time, a more comfortable outdoor environment is created, helping families and even their pets enjoy outdoor activities free from annoying buzzing and bites.

Cary, Illinois (PRWEB) July 18, 2007 -- West Nile virus, a disease that can be carried and transmitted by mosquitoes after they feed on infected birds, has been reported in several states around the country this season. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), there are cases in California, Idaho, Arizona, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, Arkansa, Louisiana, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Florida, Missouri and Ohio.

To date, this has been a very active mosquito season across the country and even if a state has not reported a current case, there are indications that the tide will grow before it gets better - more rain, higher temperatures and humidity, standing water after flooding and more. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to the symptoms of West Nile virus, and should be very cautious when outdoors to avoid mosquito bites.

According to the CDC, "About one in 150 people infected with WNV will develop severe illness. The severe symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent." (source: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/wnv_factsheet.htm)

There are several precautionary measures that can be taken around the home to reduce risk of mosquito bites and therefore mosquito-borne diseases. Some small - but effective - tasks are changing water weekly anywhere that it has a chance to stagnate: wading pools, birdbaths, fountains, small "garden ponds," etc. Another way to reduce risk is to wear long-sleeve shirts, long pants and even caps when in areas where the mosquito population is larger, such as forest preserves, especially near marshes and slow-moving water. Avoid being outside at both dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.

Finally - and most importantly - use EPA-registered insect repellents. Using citronella candles will not repel all mosquitoes, and "magnets" and "zappers" still allow the pests to attack and dine on their human hosts (and pets) on the way over to them. People-and-pet-safe repellents are available in sprays, fogs, and even infused into clothing.

Craig Rappin of Roll LLC in Cary, IL, says: "Dealing with mosquitoes at home can be a difficult and expensive process, but we have found a way to help consumers take back their yards, eliminating mosquitoes and other flying pests from their yards for days or even weeks at a time. All of this can be done inexpensively, in some cases under $100; people can enjoy their yards comfortably and it brings peace of mind by maximizing safety." Roll LLC produces a complete mosquito elimination system called "Mosquito 86" which is available through its website at http://www.mosquito86.com
