Mosquitos Control
Lucas Heights

Mosquito Facts

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

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur era which was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in just six to ten times
• The usually breed in still water at which larvae feed and develop
• They seem to be attracted to dark colours
• Mosquitos will commonly bite you at dawn or nightfall — as they mostly attack during the night. That’s when their inner clocks tell them it is feeding time
• Mosquitos love humidity and that they are fond of lactic acid, and might have a propensity to bite people who had simply exercised
• Larger people tend to attract more mosquitos because they generate higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

These are various ways which can stop us from suffering from the illness that mosquitos can bring;

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear bright colours or use powerful scents such as perfumes and deodorants as such attract insects
• Reduce vulnerable skin – wear long sleeves, trousers, footwear and hats
• Use insect repellent sprays – on vulnerable skin and repelling candles or products when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – hold clear of slow-moving or still or stagnant water
• Tuck trousers into socks – when trekking through brush or rough grass, avoid brushing through long grass or bushes

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitos at Bay

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 home windows closed – after dark, maintain doors and windows shut or block out the light with curtains
• Insect screens – fit fly displays 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 nicely outfitted lids to save you mosquito larvae inside 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 obtaining 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
