What are the common types of mosquitoes in Kenya?
Because of their small size, it’s usually difficult to tell the difference between them. But there are 3 common species of mosquitoes in Kenya. Now let’s look at each one of them individually.
1. Anopheles Mosquito
Anopheles mosquito is the most common type. Females feed on blood while male Anopheles
feed on nectar. The females actually can’t survive without the blood meal because it’s crucial for
egg development. Female Anopheles is the one that transmits Malaria.
During the day, you’ll find them relaxing in regions with less light. Like inside wardrobe, in the
corners of the room, under the table and even on the darker part of the ceiling. Anopheles are
dark greyish and like standing at 45-degree angle with the surface.
2. Culex Mosquito
Culex Mosquito share the physical appearances with the Anopheles. It’s hard to tell them apart
but when you look at them when resting you’ll find Culex mosquito sit parallel to the surface
while Anopheles assumes an angle.
Culex mosquitoes spread elephantiasis disease – a painful diseases that results into disfigured
limbs.
3. Aedes Mosquito

size compared with the first two.

Practical tips to help you control mosquitoes
As we’ve seen, mosquitoes is a constant threat to millions of precious human life. Effective
control of these deadly disease vectors calls for cooperation and participation of all the
members in the household.
It’s especially important to let everyone at home including househelps to play part in the journey
towards mosquito free environment.
Here are some effective things you can do:
1. Avoid stagnant water in the compound: most of us know that even a cup of water left
staying stagnant within the compound it not good. But it’s not uncommon to see flower
pots, children toys, old tires and related items collecting water in the compound.
2. Cover water in drums: this too is a no brainer. Make sure all the water stored for use is
covered with a tight lid. Even water in the bathroom left on basins for 5 days is a threat.
3. Regularly check for blockage of gutter: Debris like falling leaves and packaging
papers blown by wind land on the roof and during rain they move and block the gutter.
This creates collected water favourable for mosquito breeding.
4. Keep windows closed or use insect screen: Keeping windows closed will prevent
mosquitoes from getting inside especially early morning or evening. You can also fit
screens on windows.

help keeping mosquitoes away. Some insecticides are in fact made using this oils. You
can also be creative and plant them on your garden and don’t forget adding merigold.
