mosquitoes breeding ground

Mosquitoes are difficult to be controlled once they start flying. Various ways and means to killing them physically or chemically have created more tension and stress for mankind. Anyway the mosquitoes need to make love and propagate offsprings.

Mosquitoes with mothers' instinct can easily source breeding ground and then float upon water surface lovingly laying eggs. The eggs will harch into larvae and then into pupae before transforming into adult mosquitoes.

With all the advance scientific method of eradication, mosquitoes still survive. However we can reduce the mosquitoes reproduction process by cutting down the area of water surface within the breeding ground with recycled styrofoam (which has been an enviroment problem) .

Styrofoam could float up and down during raining and drought season at the mosquito breeding ground and it could be tailor-shaped accordingly --- be it a drain, pond or well. Mama mosquitoes would then look elsewhere with good water surface for its larvae and pupae.

Incidentally the newly transformed adult mosquitoe will be trapped within the floating styrofoam which has been caved at its side in contact with the water surface. With such a device, exponential reproduction of mosquitoes would be controlled without disturbing mosquitoes' instinct of lovemaking.
