Gold Coast Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

Here is a few information you would possibly need to realise about these nasty little bugs around Gold Coast:

• Mosquitoes existed because the dinosaur era which was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in just six to ten days
• The usually breed in still water where larvae feed and develop
• They seem to be attracted to dark colours
• Mosquitoes will commonly bite you at sunrise or nightfall – as they mostly attack through the night. That is when their inner clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitoes are attracted to heat and they find lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who’d just exercised
• Bigger individuals tend to draw in more mosquitoes since they create higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

It’s easy to keep mosquitoes away once you’re armed with a little knowledge. There are easy ways you can keep Gold Coast safe and avoid some of the health dangers related to mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid wearing dark clothers using strong scents as they’re more attracted to those
• Reduce exposed skin – place on long sleeves, trousers, hats and footwear
• Use insect repellent sprays on uncovered skin and repelling candles or products when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – keep clear of slow-moving or stagnant or still water.
• Tuck trousers into socks – if hiking through brush or rough grass and avoid brushing through long grass or bushes

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay

Mozzies are known in Gold Coast Australia but that does not mean we love it. There are a few matters you can do around your own home or business to save you from those pesky pests:

• Keep windows shut – after dark, keep windows and entryways closed or block out the light with shades
• 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
• Cover water – cover water butts with well-fitted lids to prevent mosquito larvae in the water
• No standing water – do not leave standing water (in watering cans by way of example) as this gives mosquitoes a place to breed
• Natural predators – if you’ve got a garden pond, consider obtaining some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – use natural repellents, by way of example, citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon lavender oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla concentrate
