Mosquitos Control
Wollongong

Mosquito Facts

Here are a few facts that you should need to think about these awful little bugs:

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur Era which was 400 million years ago
• It only takes six to ten times for egg to grow to adults
• They are found close to still water where their larvae feed and develop
• 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 is feeding time
• Mosquitos are attracted to heat and they find lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who’d just exercised
• Bigger people often attract more mosquitos because 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 hazards related to mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colors – don’t wear bright colours or use strong scents such as perfumes and deodorants as these attract insects.
• Wear clothes that cover most parts of your body like long sleeves, pants, footwear and hats
• Use insect repellent sprays — on exposed skin and repelling products or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – stay away from moderate moving or still or rancid water
• Tuck pants into socks – if 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 risk from mosquito bites is the possible skin irritation, which might further add risk for disease. Reaction to bites will differ from person to person. Symptoms that develop are only our immune system’s response to their saliva. Mosquitos do not actually inject anything into us when they bite. Mozzies are synonymous with Australia but that does not mean we enjoy it. There are a few things you can do about your home or business to prevent these pesky pests:

• Keep windows closed – After dark, keep windows and doors closed or block out the light with curtains
• Insect screens – fit fly displays to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitos, as they supply a tasty snack for other pests like 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 jars for example ) as this gives mosquitos a spot to breed
• Natural predators – if you have a garden pond, consider getting some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – try natural repellents such as citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon lavender oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender.
