Mosquitoes
Benowa Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

Here’s a few information you would possibly need to realise about these nasty little bugs around Benowa:

• Mosquitoes existed since the dinosaur period that was 400 million years ago
• It only takes six to ten days for egg to develop to adults
• They are observed near water-abundant regions wherein their larvae feed and enlarge
• They seem to be drawn to dark colours
• Mosquitoes will normally bite you at dawn or dusk – as they’re mostly nocturnal and that’s when their internal clocks tell them it is feeding time
• Mosquitoes are attracted to heat and they find lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who had just exercised
• Larger human beings normally tend to attract more mosquitoes due to the fact that they produce more carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are easy ways you can be protected and avoid some of the health hazards related to mosquito and midge bites in Benowa:

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear splendid hues or use powerful fragrances, for instance, scents and antiperspirants since these pull in insects
• Reduce exposed skin – wear long sleeves, trousers, hats and footwear
• Use insect repellent sprays – on vulnerable skin and repelling products or candles when sitting.
• Avoid areas with water – keep clear of slow-moving or still or stagnant water.
• Tuck pants into socks – when trekking through brush or rough grass, avoid brushing through long grass or bushes

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay

In Benowa Australia, it is uncommon for mosquitoes or biting insects to transmit diseases. The main risk from mosquito bites is the possible skin irritation, which may further add risk for disease. Reaction to bites will vary from person to person. Symptoms that develop are only our immune system’s reaction to their saliva. Mosquitoes do not actually inject anything when they bite. Mozzies are known with Australia but that does not mean we like it. There are a few things you can do around your home or business to prevent these pesky pests:

• Keep windows shut – After dark, keep windows and doors shut or block out the light with curtains
• Insect screens – fit fly screens to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitoes, as they provide a tasty snack for other pests such as carpet beetles
• Spread water cover water butts with all-purpose fitted shirts to counteract mosquito hatchlings in the water
• No standing water – don’t leave standing water (in watering cans for example) as this gives mosquitoes 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
