Mosquito Facts

Here are some facts that you might want to learn about these nasty little insects:

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur era that was 400 million years ago
• It only takes six to ten times for egg to grow to adults
• They are found near 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’re mostly nocturnal and that’s when their internal clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitos love humidity and that they are fond of lactic acid, and might have a propensity to bite people who’d simply 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 easy ways you can keep safe and avoid some of the health dangers associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Prevent vibrant shades – don’t wear vivid colors or use powerful scents such as perfumes and deodorants as those allure to mosquitos
• Reduce exposed skin – wear long sleeves, trousers, footwear and hats
• Use insect repellent sprays uncovered skin and repelling products or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – keep clear of slow-moving or still or stagnant 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 uncommon for mosquitos or biting insects to transmit diseases. The primary risk from mosquito bites is the possible skin irritation, which may further add risk for infection. Reaction to bites will vary from person to person. Symptoms that develop are only our immune system’s reaction to their saliva. 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 about your home or business to prevent these pesky pests:

• Keep windows shut – After dark, keep windows and doors shut or block out the light with curtains
• 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
• Spread water – cover water butts with all-around fitted tops to counteract mosquito hatchlings from the water
• No stagnant water – don’t leave standing water (in watering cans by way of instance ) as this provides 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 – attempt natural repellents such as citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon lavender oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla extract
