Mosquitos Control
St Ives Chase

Mosquito Facts

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

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur Era that was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in only six to ten days
• They are found close to still water where their larvae feed and develop
• They appear to be drawn to dark colours
• Mosquitos will commonly bite you at dawn or nightfall — since they mostly attack at night. That’s when their inner clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitos are attracted to heat and they locate lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who’d just exercised
• Bigger people tend to attract more mosquitos because they generate higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

It’s easy to keep mosquitos off once you’re armed with a little knowledge. There are simple ways you can keep secure and avoid some of the health dangers associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear splendid hues or use powerful fragrances, by way of example, scents and antiperspirants as these pull in 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 difficult grass and keep away from brushing through long marijuana or trees

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitos at Bay

Mozzies are synonymous with Australia but that doesn’t mean we love it. There are a few matters you can do around your own home or business to rescue you from those pesky pests:

• Keep windows closed – After dark, keep windows and doors closed or block out the light with drapes
• Insect screens – fit fly screens to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitos, as they supply 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 stagnant water – do not leave standing water (in watering cans for instance ) as this supplies mosquitos a place to breed
• Natural predators – if you have a garden pond, consider getting some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – use organic repellents, for example, citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla concentrate
