Mosquitoes
Pimpama Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

Here are a few facts that you should need to consider these awful little bugs around Pimpama:

• Mosquitoes existed since the dinosaur Era that was 400 million years ago
• It only takes six to ten times for egg to grow to adults
• They are found close to still water where their larvae feed and develop
• They seem to be attracted to dark colours
• Mosquitoes will commonly bite you at dawn or nightfall – as they mostly attack at night. 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 had just exercised
• Larger people often attract more mosquitoes because they generate higher carbon dioxide and lactic acid

Avoiding Mosquito Bites

There are easy ways you can keep Pimpama safe and avoid some of the health dangers associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colors – don’t wear bright colors or use powerful scents such as perfumes and deodorants as these attract insects.
• Wear clothes that cover most parts of your body such as long sleeves, pants, hats and footwear
• 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 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

Mozzies are known in Pimpama Australia but that does not mean we love it. There are a few matters you can do around your own home or business to rescue you from those pesky pests:

• Keep windows shut – After dark, keep windows and doors closed or block out the light with curtains
• 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
• Cover water – cover water butts with well fitted lids to prevent mosquito larvae in the water
• No standing water – do not leave standing water (in watering jars for example ) as this gives mosquitoes a spot to breed
• Natural predators – if you’ve got a garden pond, consider getting some goldfish as they will eat mosquito larvae
• Natural repellents – attempt natural repellents such as citronella, neem oil, peppermint oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, lavender, garlic.
