Mosquitos Control
Putney

Mosquito Facts

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

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur period that was 400 million years back
• They could develop from eggs to adults in just six to ten days
• They are found near still water where their larvae feed and develop
• They seem to be attracted to dark colours
• Mosquitos will commonly bite you at sunrise or nightfall — as they mostly attack during the night. That’s when their inner clocks tell them it is 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 tend to 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 are armed with a little knowledge. There are simple ways you can keep secure and avoid some of the health risks associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Prevent vibrant shades – do not wear vivid colors or use strong scents such as perfumes and deodorants as those appeal to mosquitos
• Reduce exposed skin – wear long sleeves, trousers, footwear and hats
• Use insect repellent sprays on uncovered skin and repelling products or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – keep away from moderate moving or still or stale water
• Tuck pants into socks – when 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 rare for mosquitos or biting insects to transmit diseases. The main risk from mosquito bites is the potential skin irritation, which may further add risk for infection. Reaction to bites will differ 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 protect against these pesky pests:

• Keep windows closed – 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 example ) as this gives mosquitos a spot to breed
• Natural predators – if you have a garden pond, consider getting a couple of 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
