Mosquitoes
Broadbeach Waters Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

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

• Mosquitoes existed since the dinosaur era which was 400 million years ago
• It only takes six to ten times for egg to grow to adults
• They are observed near water-abundant regions wherein their larvae feed and enlarge
• 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’d simply exercised
• Bigger human beings generally tend to attract more mosquitoes because of the fact that they produce more carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

It’s easy to keep mosquitoes off once you’re armed with a little knowledge. There are simple ways you can keep Broadbeach Waters safe and avoid some of the health risks related to mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear bright colours or use strong scents such as perfumes and deodorants as these attract insects
• Lessen uncovered skin – wear long sleeves, pants, footwear and caps
• Use insect repellent sprays uncovered skin and repelling products or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – keep clear of slow-moving or stagnant or still water.
• Tuck pants into socks – when hiking through brush or rough grass and avoid brushing through long grass or bushes

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay

In Broadbeach Waters Australia, it is uncommon for mosquitoes or biting insects to transmit diseases. The main risk from mosquito bites is the potential skin irritation, which may further add risk for disease. Reaction to bites will differ from person to person. Symptoms that develop are only our immune system’s reaction to their saliva. Mosquitoes do not actually inject anything into us when they bite. Mozzies are known with Australia but that doesn’t 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 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 such as carpet beetles
• Cover water – cover water butts with well-fitted lids to reduce mosquito larvae in 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, for example, citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, vanilla and lavender concentrate
