Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) #3
Question: What type of product do you use?
Answer: Mosquito Squad employs pyrethroids, a synthetic copy of pyrethrin. Pyrethrins, insecticides derived from an extract of chrysanthemum flowers, typically break down around four to six hours after application. In contrast, pyrethroids, break down around 21 days after application, offering your family much longer protection. These are the same products commonly used in pet flea/tick collars and sprays. Pyrethroids pose little risk to human health and to the environment. They bind strongly to soil and are not easily absorbed by plant roots. Because of this, pyrethroids usually do not contaminate groudwater. Sunlight and other compounds in the atmosphere break pyrethroids down quickly, resulting in little environmental or air contamination.

Question:
What animal kills the most people?
Answer:
Currently the mosquito kills more people every year than any other animal.
Here are some numbers:
•over 5,000,000 people worldwide died every year at the height of the Black Death in 1349 (probably bubonic plague bacterium carried by rat fleas in turn carried by black rats), eventually killing 30% to 60% of all humans in Europe.
•1,200,000 people worldwide died in motor vehicle traffic accidents in 2004, as estimated by the WHO. 41,900 people in the US died in motor vehicle traffic accidents in 2007, according to the CDC.
•781,000 people worldwide die each year from malaria (from single-celled Plasmodium protists carried by mosquitoes) according to the WHO.
•20,000 to 94,000 people worldwide die each year from snakebites, according to Kasturiratne et. al.
•52,495 people in the US die from influenza (a virus) and pneumonia (most often caused by pneumococcus bacteria) in 2007, according to the CDC.
•34,598 people died from suicide in the US, and 18,009 people died from homicide in the US, in 2007 according to the CDC.
