DRDO now takes on mosquitoes, launches repellent cream

Hey .. you guys know that only the female mosquitoes bite and males dont bite.? They thrive on drinking blood while the less harmful males lives on nectar.

I studied that topic in 9th standard, but never verified it practically.
It's pretty hard to determine their gender after crushing them by hand.

They lay eggs on stagnant waters and if not removed at proper time they multiply and spread diseases.
 
Well the great philosopher nana patekar has said a famous words about them didnt he?

What was it.. its something like "saala ek machar aadmi ko... something like that...

So what do u suggest to stop their breeding??
Remove the stagnant water or sterilize the male? ;)

Zoology was never my strong point, in any case did'nt have to become a veterinarian.
But, BTW are there hermaphrodites among mosquitoes?

Hey man, that is way out of my depth. But going by what you say that sounds like serious behavioural problems for mosquitoes.
Unfortunate mosquitoes; have no therapists.
Wish i had studied zoology more seriously in school, might've understood this makkhi-machhar business better.
 
Smoke them out. That works very well to eradicate mosquitoes of all species. Asphyxiates them.

The word is not smoking them out.. iTs called fumigation.. and no it wont work at all times.. some mosquitos have got their immune system working against anything of that sort.
