Mosquito Facts

Here are few facts about mosquitos that you might want to discover:

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur Era that was 400 million years ago
• They can develop from eggs to adults in just six to ten days
• The usually breed in still water at which larvae feed and develop
• They appear 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 are attracted to heat and they find lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who had just exercised
• Larger people often draw in more mosquitos since they create higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

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

• Avoid bright colours – do not 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 items or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – keep 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

Mozzies are synonymous with Australia but that does not mean we love it. There are a few things you can do around your own home or business to save you from those pesky pests:

• Keep windows shut – After dark, keep windows and doors shut 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 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 instance) 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 and vanilla extract
