They are said to be twenty times the size of the typical mosquito and they can easily bite through layers of clothing.\u00a0 Reports are that their bite feels the same as being stabbed with a knife!\u00a0 The dreadful mosquito<\/a> is called the \u201cGallinippers\u201d and scientists believe that they will be plaguing the state of Florida this summer!<\/p>\n

These giant sized mosquitos specifically seek out humans and animals and deliver a painful stab both day and night in contrast to typical mosquitoes which are only active at dawn and dusk.\u00a0 Scientists are not certain that even the highest dosage of DEET will protect people from these blood thirsty vampires as they may be more tolerant to DEET than other types of mosquitoes.<\/p>\n

Like other species of mosquitoes<\/a>, it is only the female mosquito that is the blood seeker.\u00a0 The males feed upon flower nectar.\u00a0 The eggs of the Gallinipper can lay dormant in the soil near ponds, creeks, and other bodies of water for years until water levels rise.\u00a0 Once they do, the mosquitos will hatch and the invasion will begin.<\/p>\n

There are a few good points to having these blood seekers around though.\u00a0 While in the larvae stage, researchers have found that they feed upon all types of mosquito larvae, which in turn will help to keep other disease transmitting mosquito populations down.\u00a0 The Gallinipper mosquito is not known to be a carrier of any type of disease.<\/p>\n

With any luck the Gallinipper mosquito invasion will not be too bad of a problem for Florida residents and hopefully they will not accidentally be transported out of the state.\u00a0 Residents should consider having a Monmouth County, NJ pest control<\/a> professional perform barrier treatments around their home or business to keep mosquitos and other types of pests away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
