Mosquitoes
Jesmond Pest Control

Mosquito Facts

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

• They existed along with the dinosaurs 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 inner clocks tell them it’s feeding time
• Mosquitoes are pulled in to warmth and they find lactic acid alluring, would tend to bite people who had 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 Jesmond and keep away from a range of the physical fitness risks associated with mosquito and midge bites:

• Avoid bright colours – do not wear bright colours or use powerful scents such as perfumes and deodorants as such attract insects.
• Wear clothes that cover most parts of your body such as long sleeves, pants, footwear and hats
• Use insect repellent sprays – on vulnerable skin and repelling candles or products when sitting.
• Avoid areas with water – maintain clear of slow-moving or still or stagnant water
• Tuck trousers 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 Jesmond Australia, it is rare 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 infection. Reaction to bites will differ from person to person. Symptoms that develop are only our immune system’s response to their spit. Mosquitoes do not actually inject anything when they bite. Mozzies are known 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 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 supply a tasty snack for other pests such as carpet beetles
• Cover water – cover water butts with nicely equipped lids to save you mosquito larvae within 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 have 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, garlic, lavender and vanilla extract
