Mosquitos Pest Control

A mosquito has a slender long-legged fly with aquatic larvae. This pest spreads some of humanity’s deadliest diseases namely malaria and encephalitis. There are more than 3,000 species of mosquitos and they transmit more ailments than any other insect.

They may look harmless, but the amounts of dengue and malaria cases through the years have shown that mosquitos are more deadly than they seem.

Mosquitos are usually found in watery areas where they breed. Though they are known to have short life span that they last only for days especially male mosquitos who live shorter than feminine ones, they really cause nuisance to human lives. Other than the disease it may bring, they also lead to discomfort they inflict during and after biting their prey to suck blood from them.

Mosquito Facts

Here are few facts about mosquitos that you may want to discover:

• Mosquitos existed since the dinosaur era that was 400 million years ago
• They can develop from eggs to adults in just six to ten times
• They are found close to still water where their larvae feed and develop
• They appear to be attracted to dark colours
• Mosquitos will commonly bite you at dawn or nightfall – as they mostly attack through the night. That’s when their inner clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitos are attracted to heat and they find lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who had just exercised
• Larger people often draw in more mosquitos since they create higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

These are various ways which can prevent us from suffering from the illness that mosquitos can bring;

• Avoid bright colours – do not wear bright colours or use powerful scents such as perfumes and deodorants as such attract insects.
• Reduce exposed skin – put on long sleeves, trousers, footwear and hats
• Use insect repellent sprays – on vulnerable skin and repelling items or candles when sitting
• Avoid areas with water – maintain 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 Mosquitos at Bay

In Australia, it is uncommon for mosquitos or biting insects to transmit diseases. The main danger from mosquito bites is the potential skin irritation, which might further add risk for infection. Reaction to bites will differ from person to person. Symptoms that develop are only our immune system’s response to their spit. Mosquitos do not actually inject anything when they bite. Mozzies are synonymous with Australia but that doesn’t mean we enjoy it. There are a few things you can do around your home or business to protect against these pesky pests:

• Keep windows closed – 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 mosquitos, 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 in the water
• No stagnant water – don’t leave standing water (in watering cans by way of example) as this provides mosquitos a place to breed
• Natural predators – if you have a garden pond, consider getting some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – try natural repellents such as citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, garlic, lavender and vanilla extract
