Build houses for bats to fight mosquitoes

The city of Milan (Italy) has used ecological methods to combat mosquito attacks. In order to prevent locals from disturbing the insects, they have billed thousands of tiny wooden houses to bats.

The city council of Milan has hung 1,200 wooden boxes, inside there are trusses for 'houses' for bats at large parks and gardens. After a few days, checking over 400 boxes has identified 10 'safe' areas in Champione and Kave Central Flower Gardens.

The Milan city government built 1,200 wooden boxes to make bats for houses.

One bat in 1 hour can hunt 200 mosquitoes and one night has thousands. A few years ago this 'eco-killing mosquito' was also tested in Taiwan. Due to the presence of a school where mosquitoes and beetles appear, they have closed 'houses' to raise bats and immediately the number of flying insects has decreased markedly.

In one of the areas in the mosquitoes the school becomes especially dangerous, not because they only burn itch but also transmit many different diseases. The method of closing a bat house is effectively applied.

The teachers in the school said that in the winter, the bat left these 'houses' to return to the dormant old nest and when the summer came back, the temperature increased, the insects were allowed to grow, they returned.

Currently, Pravda reports that excessive mosquito breeding is also occurring in Sri Lanka. The police have arrested 53 local people who refused to remove water from the swamp next to their houses before carrying out a salt-killing campaign to spread dengue.

In the framework of the anti-mosquito campaign, the Sri Lankan government inspected 11.5 thousand houses in the capital, Colombo. Those arrested may be fined, even imprisoned for up to half a year.
