Mosquitos Control
Crows Nest

Mosquito Facts

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

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur period which was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in just six to ten times
• They are found close to still water where their larvae feed and develop
• They seem to be drawn to dark colours
• Mosquitos will normally bite you at dawn or dusk – as they are mostly nocturnal and that’s when their internal clocks tell them it is feeding time
• Mosquitos are attracted to heat and they locate lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who had just exercised
• Larger people tend to attract more mosquitos because they generate higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

It’s easy to keep mosquitos away once you are armed with a little knowledge. There are simple ways you can keep secure and avoid some of the health dangers associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – do not wear bright colours or use strong scents such as perfumes and deodorants as these attract insects
• Reduce exposed skin – put on long sleeves, trousers, hats and footwear
• Use insect repellent sprays – on vulnerable skin and repelling candles or products 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, avoid brushing through long grass or bushes

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitos at Bay

In Australia, it is rare for mosquitos or biting insects to transmit diseases. The main danger from mosquito bites is the potential skin irritation, which might further add risk for infection. Reaction to bites will differ from person to person. Symptoms that develop are only our immune system’s response to their spit. Mosquitos do not actually inject anything into us when they bite. Mozzies are synonymous with Australia but that doesn’t mean we like it. There are a few things you can do around your home or business to prevent these pesky pests:

• Keep windows shut – After dark, keep windows and doors closed or block out the light with drapes
• Insect screens – fit fly screens to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitos, as they supply a tasty snack for other pests such as carpet beetles
• Cover water – cover water butts with well-fitted lids to prevent mosquito larvae in the water
• No standing water – do not leave standing water (in watering cans for instance ) as this gives mosquitos a place to breed
• Natural predators – if you’ve got a garden pond, try getting a couple of goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – use organic repellents, for instance, citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla focus
