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 could develop from eggs to adults in just six to ten times
• They are found close to still water where their larvae feed and develop
• They appear to be pulled in to dark colours
• Mosquitos will ordinarily bite you at dawn or dusk – as they are for the most part nocturnal. That is the point at which 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’d just exercised
• Bigger people often attract more mosquitos because they generate higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are simple ways you can keep secure and avoid some of the health dangers related to mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear bright colors or use strong scents such as perfumes and deodorants as such attract insects.
• Reduce exposed skin – place on long sleeves, trousers, footwear and hats
• 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 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

Mozzies are synonymous with Australia however that doesn’t mean we like it. There are a couple of things you can do around your home or business to prevent these nasty nuisances:

• Keep home windows shut – after dark, maintain 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 supply a tasty snack for other pests like carpet beetles
• Cover water – cover water butts with nicely equipped lids to save you mosquito larvae within 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 – use natural repellents, for instance, citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla focus
