Protecting animals from flies and mosquitoes during rainy season

During the rainy season, due to increase in humidity and temperature, mosquitoes and flies grow in very large quantity. Bees are more common in places where there is a lack of cleanliness.

  • Mosquitoes usually thrive near stagnant water sources, which is essential for their lifespan.
  • Flies bite animals, causing them to become irritable or sleepy. As a result, the animal repeatedly throws its feet on the ground and wags its tail for protection. Due to which the animal is not able to get enough food, its body weight decreases and the milk production also declines.
  • Mosquitoes also suck the blood of animals and when they are in large numbers, they immerse the animal in blood. When the animal sits on the floor, the blood-stained floor can usually be seen. Just like flies, Mosquitoes also suck the blood of animals and spread viruses and parasitic diseases.
