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

• Mosquitos existed because the dinosaur era that was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in only six to ten times
• The usually breed in still water where larvae feed and develop
• They seem to be pulled into dark colours
• Mosquitos will commonly bite you at sunrise or nightfall — since they mostly attack during the night. That is when their inner clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitos are pulled into heat and they find lactic acid alluring, would tend to bite people who had just exercised
• Larger human beings generally tend to attract more mosquitos because of the fact they produce more carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are simple ways you can keep secure and avoid some of the health risks 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.
• Reduce vulnerable skin – wear long sleeves, trousers, hats and footwear

• Avoid areas with water – hold clear of slow-moving or still or stagnant water
• Tuck trousers into socks – if hiking through brush or rough grass and 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 main risk from mosquito bites is the potential skin irritation, which might further add risk for infection. Reaction to bites will vary 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 doesn’t mean we enjoy it. There are a few things you can do around your home or business to prevent these pesky pests:

• Keep windows closed – after dark, keep windows and entryways closed or block out the light with shades
• Insect screens – fit fly displays to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitos, as they provide 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 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 eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, lavender, garlic.
