Why Do Mosquitoes Buzz In Your Ear?
If your backyard is like most others, it has mosquitoes and other pests that make an otherwise peaceful place somewhat annoying. Mosquitoes are even more problematic when they buzz around your ears when you are trying to enjoy your weekend away from work. If you have ever wondered why those little buggers insist on flying around near your ears, you aren’t alone. Here’s a quick look at the real reasons why mosquitoes gravitate toward the ears and head.
Why Mosquitoes Love Ears
Mosquito wings have a short audio range, meaning they are only heard when close to the ears. As a result, people tend to hear mosquitoes only when they are by the ears or when flying around one’s head. Mosquitoes are also drawn toward humans’ heads and those of other animals as this is where the most carbon dioxide emanates. Mosquitoes are naturally drawn toward carbon dioxide so it only makes sense that they would hover around the mouth, nose and ears. The little bugs enjoy carbon dioxide as it stimulates female mosquitoes to the point that they feel the urge to fly around, increasing their flaps per second that much more when approaching the target.
The human body also generates heat, especially around the exposed head, meaning mosquitoes are that much more likely to be interested in flying in and near the ears as well as the nostrils, eyes and other exposed skin. Add in the fact that human skin generates a wide variety of odors and there is even more reason for mosquitoes to hover around us, especially if we are in an area such as a backyard with greenery, water and open air.
Prevent Mosquitoes With the Mosquito Bucket
The time has come to say goodbye to pesky mosquitoes for good. Add the Mosquito Bucket to your yard and you’ll eliminate mosquitoes from your ears and your vicinity, ensuring you can enjoy your yard with friends and family to the fullest.
The mosquito bucket is designed to thwart local mosquito populations in backyards and other green spaces. The bucket was inspired by the unique activity and biology of local mosquitoes. Instead of relying on an insecticide sprayed at the same time each year that mosquitoes eventually get used to, the bucket extends to a larger space than possible with misting. The bucket affects mosquitoes in the general area as well as neighboring bugs and even mosquito larvae, halting them before they can spread.
T
he Mosquito Bucket is perfectly safe for use near pets, kids, people and other forms of life. Your yard, flowers, landscaping and other items will remain strong and healthy while the bucket significantly cuts down on your yard’s mosquitoes.
Some Mosquitoes are Louder Than Others
Mosquitoes are all fairly loud yet most people are surprised to learn some are louder than others. Female mosquitoes are capable of generating sound at a higher pitch than males. Though the buzzing sound of male mosquitoes is certainly noticeable, females are that much louder when flapping around. Female mosquitoes are also that much more likely to take a bite out of your skin as they primarily feed on targets’ blood while male mosquitoes are open to other forms of nutrition.
