Mosquitoes
Parkwood Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

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

• 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 close to 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 are mostly nocturnal and that’s when their internal clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitoes are attracted to heat and they locate lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who’d just exercised
• Bigger people tend to attract more mosquitoes because they produce higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are easy ways you can be protected and avoid some of the health dangers associated with mosquito and midge bites in Parkwood:

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

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay

In Parkwood Australia, it is uncommon for mosquitoes or biting insects to transmit diseases. The primary 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 spit. Mosquitoes do not actually inject anything into us when they bite. Mozzies are known with Australia but that does not mean we like it. There are a few things you can do about your home or business to prevent these pesky pests:

• Keep windows shut – after dark, keep windows and entryways closed or block out the light with colors
• Insect screens – fit fly displays to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitoes, as they provide 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 – don’t leave standing water (in watering jars for instance) as this gives mosquitoes a spot to breed
• Natural predators – if you have a garden pond, consider getting a couple of 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
