Mosquitoes
Merrimac Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

Here’s a few information that you would possibly need to realise about these nasty little bugs around Merrimac:

• Mosquitoes existed since the dinosaur Era which was 400 million years ago
• They could develop from eggs to adults in just 6 to 10 times
• They are observed near water-abundant regions wherein their larvae feed and expand
• 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 are attracted to heat and they find lactic acid alluring, thus, would tend to bite people who’d just exercised
• Bigger human beings generally tend to attract more mosquitoes due to the fact that they produce more carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are easy approaches you can make to secure Merrimac and keep away from a number of the fitness risks associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – don’t wear splendid hues or use strong fragrances, for example, scents and antiperspirants as these pull in 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 hold clear of slow-moving or still or stagnant water
• Tuck trousers into socks – if hiking through brush or rough grass, avoid brushing through long grass or bushes

Top Tips to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay

Mozzies are famous Merrimac Australia however that doesn’t mean we enjoy it. There are a couple of things you can do around your home or business to avoid these nasty nuisances:

• Keep windows shut – After dark, keep windows and doors shut or block out the light with drapes
• Insect screens – fit fly screens to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitoes, as they supply a tasty snack for other pests like carpet beetles
• Cover water – cover water butts with well fitted lids to reduce mosquito larvae from the water
• No stagnant water – don’t leave standing water (in watering cans for example) as this provides mosquitoes a place to breed
• Natural predators – if you have a garden pond, think about 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
