Mosquitoes
Benowa Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

Here are a few facts that you should need to think about these awful little bugs around Benowa:

• Mosquitoes existed since the dinosaur era that was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in only six to ten times
• They are found near still water where their larvae feed and develop
• They seem to be attracted to dark colours
• Mosquitoes will commonly bite you at dawn or nightfall – since they mostly attack at night. That’s when their inner clocks tell them it is feeding time
• Mosquitoes are pulled into warmth and they find lactic acid alluring, would often bite people who had just exercised
• Bigger human beings generally tend to attract more mosquitoes because of the fact they produce more carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are simple approaches you can make to secure Benowa and keep away from a number of the physical fitness risks associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear bright colours or use strong scents such as perfumes and deodorants as such attract insects
• Lessen uncovered skin – wear long sleeves, pants, footwear and caps
• Use insect repellent sprays – on exposed skin and repelling products or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – hold clear of slow-moving or stagnant or still water
• Tuck trousers into socks – when trekking through brush or hard grass and keep away from brushing via long grass or trees

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay

Mozzies are known in Benowa Australia but that does not mean we love it. There are a few things you can do around your own home or business to rescue you from these 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 mosquitoes, 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 mosquitoes a spot to breed
• Natural predators – if you’ve got a garden pond, think about getting some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – use natural repellents, by way of instance, citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla focus
