Mosquito Facts

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

• They existed along with the dinosaurs 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in only 6 to 10 times
• The usually breed in still water where 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 pulled in to heat and they find lactic acid alluring, would tend to bite people who had just exercised
• Larger people tend to draw in more mosquitos since they create higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are simple approaches you can hold safe and keep away from a range of the physical fitness risks associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear bright colors or use powerful scents such as perfumes and deodorants as such attract insects.
• Reduce vulnerable skin – wear long sleeves, trousers, hats and footwear
• Use insect repellent sprays on uncovered skin and repelling products or candles when sitting
• 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

Mozzies are synonymous with Australia however that does not mean we enjoy it. There are a couple of things you can do around your home or business to avoid these nasty nuisances:

• Keep windows shut – after dark, keep windows and entryways closed or block out the light with shades
• Insect screens – fit fly screens to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitos, as they provide a tasty snack for other pests such as carpet beetles
• Cover water – cover water butts with well-fitted lids to reduce mosquito larvae in 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’ve got a garden pond, consider getting some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – attempt natural repellents such as citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla extract
