From about May to the end of October, with some shifts depending on the season, in the Moscow region and adjacent areas lasts summer season... Millions of residents of the capital every weekend flock to their hacienda to relax in nature: to have a feast, barbecue, swim, take care of the garden, or just spend time in nature without doing anything special. But any undertaking can be overshadowed by hordes of insects, without which no summer can do. In cooler northern regions Moscow region, where it often rains, there are a lot of mosquitoes. In the southern regions big problem are gadflies. The closer to the middle of summer and hotter, the more likely it is to be bitten by wasps. Meeting with blood-sucking and stinging insects can not only irritate, be painful and cause discomfort, but in some cases threatens grave consequences for health. The sting of a bee or wasp, as well as the bite of any insect, can cause a strong allergic reaction, up to anaphylactic shock, gadflies can lay larvae directly under the skin of animals and people, ticks and mosquitoes carry whole line dangerous diseases, the most famous of which are encephalitis and malaria. Of course, one would like to avoid collisions with all the above-described problems.
Killing ticks and mosquitoes in gazebos and verandas
Gazebos and verandas in the summer become the heart country life... To hide from mosquitoes and ticks, you can use mosquito curtains, smoldering spirals, rods, plant along the structure and in hanging boxes lavender, rosemary, lemon balm, basil, mint and geranium. If electricity is supplied to the resting place, then it becomes possible to use classic fumigators for the house and aquafumigators, however, they will be ineffective if the gazebo or veranda is completely open and blown through by air currents. The gazebo can be treated with a special aerosol containing tetramethrin, cypermethrin, imiprotrin and other potent toxic substances. Choose a spray that targets as many insect species as possible for the best effect.
Mosquitoes on the street are reliably protected by mosquito candle lanterns. The insecticide is placed on top of the structure and gradually heated by a burning flame. Such a device not only creates a cloud around itself that repels mosquitoes, but gives the veranda a cozy atmosphere in the evening twilight. Another similar option could be a battery operated fumigation device with replaceable units. It runs on conventional penlight batteries by circulating air through a cartridge soaked in a poisonous substance.
Going into nature periodically carefully inspect clothes and skin for insects crawling on them. Apply creams and spray with pest sprays in advance. When choosing a product, carefully read the instructions for use. While most mosquito repellents can and even need to be applied directly to the body every 4-5 hours, tick sprays are sprayed mainly on clothing. In this case, the effect can last up to a week due to the properties of the fabric.

"Medilis Ziper" in questions and answers
How does the drug work on insects?
Liquid, getting on mosquitoes, midges or other insects, paralyzes them nervous system, which leads to the death of individuals. Paralysis will occur even if a mosquito or midge accidentally flies into the area and just sits on the treated surface.
Will Medilis Ziper help get rid of ticks?
Oh sure! To do this, you need to dilute 12 ml of the drug (2 tablespoons) in 1 liter of water, mix the solution thoroughly and spray the entire area. Depending on the landscape and the sprayer used, the solution consumption will be 1-3 liters per 100 sq. M. After three days, all ticks on the site will die.
To protect against ticks, it is also recommended to treat the clothes. The agent is applied to evenly straightened clothing from a distance of 20-50 cm on both sides. After processing, the clothes are dried in a ventilated area for 2 hours.
Where else can this drug be used?
Practical use of "Medilis Ziper" has shown its effectiveness in the fight against mosquitoes, midges, ticks, bedbugs, ants, wasps and cockroaches. In addition, the instructions indicate that the drug also destroys hornets, flies, lice, fleas.
How long does the drug last?
The term of use of the ready-made solution is 8 hours. The instructions for the drug indicate that the residual period of action is 1-2 months and the effect is expressed in the destruction of 70-90% of insects. Objectively, in 2012, a study of the residual effect of the drug was carried out, and this effect was about 30 days. For the study, the drug "Medilis Ciper" was diluted in a concentration that destroys not only mosquitoes, but also their larvae. The existing mosquitoes and midges died instantly, and new individuals did not appear for a month. Even after 30 days, the number of emerging insects in the treated area was significantly less than in the district.
Last year, a concentration of 0.4 ml / liter was enough to kill mosquitoes and midges, but this year 1 ml / liter was used, and the effect is less noticeable. What is the reason for this?
2013 is more humid than the previous year. This is due to the very snowy winter. That is why there are more mosquitoes and midges everywhere (sometimes they appear where previously they were not at all), and because of high humidity higher concentrations are required. Try to increase the concentration within the limits allowed by the instructions. This situation will continue until the moisture content of the soil decreases.
Let's say I cultivate my site, but mosquitoes and midges can fly from neighbors?
Mosquitoes do not make large "non-stop" flights and do not "hang" in the air for a long time. They travel short distances and always make a large number of landings on grass and foliage. If you cultivate a 5 meter wide protective strip around the perimeter of the plot, this will usually be more than enough.
Drug safety
How dangerous is Medilis Ziper for people and animals?
The product is safe to such an extent that it is even approved for use in medical institutions and enterprises. Catering... "Medilis Ziper" is widely used for professional disinsection in public transport, in hotels, hostels, child care facilities. If we speak formally, then according to the degree of influence on the body of warm-blooded creatures with a single introduction into the stomach of the agent to the lll class of moderately dangerous, and when applied to the skin - to the lV class of low-hazard according to the classification of GOST 12.1.007-76. Processing should be carried out observing the safety precautions and safety rules specified in the instructions.
Simply put, it is better for people on the site to appear no earlier than 8
hours after treatment, ideally after three days. Therefore, it makes sense to carry out the processing of open areas in the evening.It is not recommended to graze cattle in the treated areas. Pets (dogs and cats) usually do not eat grass, but even if for some reason they decide to eat several plants, this amount of the drug will not cause poisoning.
Children, as a rule, do not eat grass from the site either. Nevertheless, as far as possible, it is better to control so that nothing is pulled into the mouth from the ground. Accidental ingestion of small amounts of treated grass or foliage will not cause disaster.
What happens if the drug gets on the fetus?
The drug will remain on the surface and will not get inside the plant. That is why, with "Medilis Ziper" you can safely process seedlings and leaves. True, if ovaries or fruits have already appeared on the plants, then it is better not to spray them. The same goes for plants that eat leaves or shoots. If such plants are still processed, then they can be eaten only after thorough washing.
How to use the drug correctly
To obtain a working solution, it is necessary to dilute the concentrate in water in the appropriate proportion (depending on the type of insects to be destroyed) and stir the mixture for 5 minutes. It remains to spray the area with the resulting solution in order to completely get rid of mosquitoes, midges and ticks. Spraying is recommended in the evening before mosquitoes and midges come out on their "hunt". The ideal weather for processing the site is dry and calm. You should spray not only the entire surface (lawn, garden paths, open areas), but also shrubs, tall grass, lower parts of trees. Your main task is to evenly cover all surfaces with Medilis Ziper working emulsion.
To get the most out of it, try to spray the underside of leaves and hiding spots in shrubs and plants where mosquitoes and midges love to hide. The effect will be even more significant if your neighbors also cultivate their plots.
Preparation of the Medilis-ziper emulsion for mosquito control:
2 - 4 ml of substance per 1 liter of water (100 ml Medilis-ziper for 8 ares).

Factors to consider in mosquito control
Saturated with blood, which is necessary for the eggs to ripen, the female mosquito flies to a dark and humid place, and then lays its eggs in a reservoir. The fight against mosquitoes will be greatly facilitated if insects' access to water bodies (including puddles, barrels of water) is stopped. If there is a pond or lake not far from the dacha, then this will significantly complicate the work to combat insects (mosquitoes cover a distance of up to 5 km). The activity of bloodsucking decreases at a temperature of +28 degrees, but in recent years, summer residents have noted that even on hot days, mosquitoes deliver a lot of unpleasant moments.
Mosquitoes live in populations and after their destruction, other individuals do not arrive at this place.
Most efficient method getting rid of blood-sucking insects (both mosquitoes and midges) is a thorough treatment of the site with special insecticidal preparations. At correct selection active drug, such treatments will never harm people living on the site. Nevertheless, it is advisable to carry out processing in the absence of the owners (you can wait out in the house). During processing, the master must use the means individual protection(protective waterproof suit, gloves, mask). To exclude the occurrence of allergic reactions in people to the drugs used, it is better to go outside no earlier than 15-30 minutes after the treatments. When using professional sprayers, the treatment does not take a large number time. For example, processing a plot of 10 acres from mosquitoes will take about 40 - 60 minutes.

Performing such work requires special skills, specialized equipment, quality chemicals and a lot of patience. For optimal results in the country, the following areas should be treated:
- Plot. Application of the reagent to all surfaces of the adjacent territory, except flowering plants and trees.

- Reservoirs. On many summer cottages or near them are natural or artificial reservoirs. In order to prevent the larvae from forming in such a favorable environment, a filling of special serum is used, which will destroy existing larvae and prevent new ones from forming.
It is necessary to additionally process part of the territory outside the boundaries of the site, this will create extra space and will help prevent pests from entering through the buffer zone. With high-quality performance of work, one treatment is enough so that the whole season does not remember mosquitoes.
Pest control products

Important to remember. The selected drug must be certified, with an unexpired shelf life.
Precautions and general rules for processing the site
If you decide to independently protect your summer cottage or suburban area from mosquitoes, it is important to consider that an insecticide that is completely safe for people and pets has not yet been invented.
To avoid negative consequences chemical treatment of the territory, you need to take care not only of the effectiveness of the chosen method, but also of your own safety. You should prepare in advance for the procedure for getting rid of the suburban area from mosquitoes. For this purpose you will need:
- Track the weather forecast. The best effect can be achieved if the preparation is sprayed in dry, calm weather (it is better that no precipitation falls within the next three days after treatment).
The settled clear and calm weather is the most right time to treat the area from mosquitoes - Take care of the absence of people and pets on the territory of the dacha or site. They will be able to return there not earlier than 4–5 days after the pest control of the area.
- Clear the area in advance: cut the grass on open areas and remove the remains of last year's leaves and hay.
To achieve the best effect, the summer cottage must be prepared in advance for processing - If possible, seal open containers with water.
Small containers of water can be covered with ordinary plastic wrap - Make sure you have the kit protective equipment(respirator, gloves, rubber boots, headgear, robe or raincoat). You can use a regular raincoat with a hood.
When spraying insecticide, it is important that the entire body area is protected from contact with toxic drugs - Have a sprayer with you. It could be summer cottage option, gasoline or battery (depending on the size of the site).
It is better to select the sprayer capacity based on individual physical data and the area of the site. - Make sure there is enough water at room temperature to dilute the drug. If it is taken from the nearest reservoir, then it is better to filter it out or let it settle.
On a note. It should be borne in mind that it will not be possible to pick berries or mushrooms on the treated area for 20 to 40 days (depending on the drug used).
It is better to prepare a solution for killing mosquitoes immediately before processing, because its shelf life usually does not exceed 12 hours. When preparing the solution, you must strictly follow the instructions and carefully observe the dosage.
Please note that some preparations are designed to process the territory in two stages: the destruction of larvae, and then adult insects.
It is better to start the procedure from the buildings located on the territory.
Doors, windows and vents of living quarters must be tightly closed. It is better to process the vegetation on the site around the perimeter, trying not to get on the sprouts and buds, so as not to ruin future fruits and flowers.
An insecticide against mosquitoes and their larvae can disrupt the normal development of young plant shoots Female mosquitoes usually lay their eggs in damp and shaded places, so anti-clutches and larvae should be sprayed near sources of moisture (plums, taps, sewers), in basements and all kinds of crevices and cracks.
Mosquito eggs can be found in any damp and dark place. Treatments will also require a place where adult bloodsuckers congregate. This is the easiest step in the entire procedure.
Important to remember. Most mosquito repellents are also toxic to bees. If there is an apiary nearby, you should limit the flight of these beneficial insects for the time specified in the instructions.
After finishing the treatment of the area from mosquitoes, do not forget to change the water in open containers so that the remnants of the insecticide do not cause animal poisoning.
Folk ways to control mosquitoes
Traditional methods of fighting mosquitoes do not imply the total destruction of insects in the entire suburban area. These are sparing measures aimed mainly at scaring off bloodsuckers. At the same time, folk methods are safe for humans and their four-legged friends.
The issue of the safety of rest becomes especially relevant if children and pets come to the dacha. Majority folk methods Based on the intolerance of strong odors to mosquitoes. Therefore, our task will be to spread strong aromas throughout the site with the help of improvised means.
Essential oil treatment
Flying bloodsuckers cannot stand odors:
- lavender;
Besides repellant, lavender scent also has a soothing effect. - thyme;
The thyme plant has a different folk and no less famous name- thyme - eucalyptus;

An aromatic lamp can be a wonderful decor element. During the operation of the aroma lamp, the absence of bloodsuckers is guaranteed to you.
With the help of improvised materials, aroma lamps for the site can be made independently The second method of mosquito control using essential oils involves treating the surfaces of the veranda or gazebo where you like to relax on fresh air... Wipe with a napkin soaked in such concentrates country furniture, house walls or construction posts. As long as the scent lasts, mosquitoes won't bother you.
Plants and herbs on the site
A pungent odor that frightens off flying bloodsuckers is possessed by:
- rosemary;
It is better to plant rosemary on the south or east side of the site. - mint;
When planting mint on the site, it should be borne in mind that it grows rather quickly - calendula;
Many summer residents like calendula for their simplicity in breeding and the ability to tolerate frost - marigold;
Marigolds are also good because even a novice gardener can handle their cultivation. - sage;
Experienced gardeners it is recommended to plant sage on the sunny side of the site - tomatoes;
Experienced gardeners know that mosquitoes do not fly over tomato beds (and many other insects avoid the leaves of this plant, which have a pungent smell) - sagebrush;
Some varieties of wormwood are used for garden design, while others are considered weeds and are ruthlessly weeded out. - tansy;
Any type of soil is suitable for growing tansy, even with low fertility. - Carnation;
The beauty and variety of flowers have long made the carnation a welcome guest on any site. - geranium;
Many are more accustomed to seeing geraniums in flower pot on the windowsill, but these flowers grow well in the open field - chamomile;

Elderberry grows best on loamy soil with low acidity.
By planting plants in the area, you will receive a living shield from mosquitoes in the form of a lasting scent. To enhance the effect, experienced summer residents sometimes recommend crushing or crushing the leaves so that the smell is enhanced.
Campfire Smoke Efficiency
There is an opinion that the smoke from a fire is one of the most reliable and effective means in the fight against mosquitoes. Experience shows that the opinion is not entirely correct: some modern bloodsuckers have developed resistance to this method of protection. The smoke will not scare away the rest of the insects for a long time.
It should be borne in mind that repelling mosquitoes with smoke from open fire unsafe If your task is to cook kebabs and quickly leave, then the smoke from the fire can be enough to retreat from the recreation field with minimal damage to the skin.
Some mosquito repellent plants can pleasantly diversify the taste of barbecue. Exists safe ways enhance the smoke screen effect:
When making a fire on the site, it is important to remember the safety rules. Use barbecues and other means of limiting open flames whenever possible.
Mosquito traps
In an effort to save money, seasoned summer residents make mosquito traps with their own hands. The principle of operation of such devices is based on luring insects with the help of pleasant smells for them. At home, you can make a trap from an ordinary plastic bottle or make an analogue of store-bought adhesive tape.
To create a structure of the first type, you will need a plastic bottle with a capacity of 1.5-2.0 liters, scissors or a knife and bait (for its preparation, you need to mix 1 gram of dry yeast with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and a glass of warm water).
This DIY bottle trap is completely safe for people and pets. 
Making a homemade mosquito trap does not require any money or serious effort. After adding yeast, the bait does not need to be stirred. Insert upper part with the neck down and put in a dark place. For reliable darkening, the bottle can be additionally wrapped with paper.
On a note. Judging by some reviews, not all mosquito populations are interested in this type of trap, so if you are doing it for the first time, you should first try this method in the absence of family members who are allergic to insect bites.
To make sticky tape, you will need a strip of paper and some sticky bait. If you have some window paper left in your old stocks, it will work fine. If not, you can cut the base yourself.
The paper should be thick enough to withstand the warm glue lure Depending on the materials at hand, bait can be made according to the following recipes:
- Combine four parts of rosin, two parts of castor oil and one each of turpentine and sugar syrup.
- Mix pine resin with linseed oil in a 2: 1 ratio and add honey with beeswax in a ratio of 5: 1. A tablespoon of honey mixture is enough for a glass of resin with oil.
- Combine two tablespoons of glycerin, half a glass of honey, a glass of petroleum jelly and 0.4 kg of rosin.
All ingredients are melted in a water bath, mixed thoroughly and applied to the tape.
It is easy to make a water bath at home from two containers of different diameters. Traps in the form adhesive tapes can be hung on the veranda or fixed on trees in resting areas.
Homemade sticky tape can be secured with tape, or you can make a sleeve out of cardboard or a knot of wood and fasten adhesive paper with a thread On a note. It should be borne in mind that homemade traps do not give a lasting effect and a complete guarantee of the absence of bites, but they can reduce the mosquito population.
