Mosquito Facts

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

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur period that was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in only 6 to 10 days
• They are found close to still water where their larvae feed and develop
• They appear to be pulled in to dark colours
• Mosquitos will commonly bite you at dawn or nightfall – since they mostly attack through the night. That’s when their inner clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitos are attracted to heat and they find lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who had just exercised
• Bigger human beings generally tend to attract more mosquitos because of the fact that they produce more carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

These are various ways which can prevent us from suffering from the illness that mosquitos may bring;

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear bright colours or use strong scents such as perfumes and deodorants as such attract insects
• Reduce exposed skin – wear long sleeves, trousers, hats and footwear
• Use insect repellent sprays — on exposed skin and repelling products or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – keep clear of slow moving or stagnant or still 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 uncommon for mosquitos or biting insects to transmit diseases. The main danger 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 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 shut or block out the light with drapes
• Insect screens – fit fly displays to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitos, as they provide a tasty snack for other pests like carpet beetles
• Cover water – cover water butts with well fitted lids to reduce mosquito larvae in the water
• No standing water – don’t leave standing water (in watering cans for example) as this gives mosquitos a place to breed
• Natural predators – if you have a garden pond, think about getting some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – utilise natural repellents, for instance, citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, vanilla and lavender concentrate
