Mosquito Facts

Here are a few facts that you should need to think about these nasty small bugs:

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur period which was 400 million years ago
• They can develop from eggs to adults in just 6 to 10 times
• They are observed near water-abundant regions wherein their larvae feed and enlarge
• They seem to be attracted to dark colours
• Mosquitos will normally bite you at dawn or dusk – as they are mostly nocturnal and that’s when their inner clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitos are attracted to heat and they locate lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who’d just exercised
• Larger people often draw in more mosquitos since they produce higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are easy ways you can be protected and avoid some of the health dangers associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Prevent vibrant shades – do not wear vivid colors or use powerful scents such as perfumes and deodorants as those appeal to mosquitos

• Use insect repellent sprays – on vulnerable skin and repelling products or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – hold clear of slow-moving or still or stagnant water
• Tuck trousers into socks – when hiking through brush or rough grass and avoid brushing through long grass or bushes

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitos at Bay

Mozzies are synonymous with Australia however that does not mean we like it. There are a couple of things you can do around your house or business to prevent these nasty nuisances:

• Keep windows shut – after dark, keep windows and entryways closed or block out the light with colors
• Insect screens – fit fly displays to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitos, as they supply a tasty snack for other pests such as carpet beetles
• Spread water - cover water butts with all-purpose fitted tops to counteract mosquito hatchlings from the water
• No standing water – do not leave standing water (in watering cans for example) as this gives mosquitos a place to breed
• Natural predators – if you’ve got a garden pond, consider getting some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – attempt natural repellents such as citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon lavender oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla extract
