Numinbah Valley Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

Here are few facts about mosquitoes that you might want to discover around Numinbah Valley:

• Mosquitoes existed since the dinosaur Era which was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in just 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 normally bite you at dawn or dusk – as they’re mostly nocturnal and that’s when their inner clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitoes love humidity and that they are fond of lactic acid, and might have a tendency to bite people who had simply exercised
• Bigger people tend to attract more mosquitoes because they produce higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are simple ways you can keep Numinbah Valley safe and avoid some of the health risks associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear bright colours or use powerful 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 products or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – keep away from moderate moving or still or stale water
• Tuck trousers into socks – when hiking through brush or rough grass, avoid brushing through long grass or bushes

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay

In Numinbah Valley Australia, it is rare for mosquitoes or biting insects to transmit diseases. The primary risk from mosquito bites is the potential skin irritation, which may further add risk for infection. Reaction to bites will vary from person to person. Symptoms that develop are only our immune system’s response to their spit. 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 closed – after dark, keep windows and entryways closed or block out the light with shades
• Insect screens – fit fly displays to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitoes, as they supply a tasty snack for other pests like carpet beetles
• Spread water – cover water butts with all-around fitted tops to counteract mosquito hatchlings from the water
• No standing water – do not leave standing water (in watering cans for example) as this gives mosquitoes a place to breed
• Natural predators – if you’ve got a garden pond, consider getting a few goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – attempt natural repellents such as citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla extract
