Top Tips to Keep Mosquitos at Bay

Mozzies are synonymous with Australia but that does not mean we love it. There are a few matters you can do around your own house or business to save you from these pesky pests:

• Keep home windows shut – after dark, maintain doors and windows closed or block out the mild with drapes
• Insect screens – fit fly displays to windows
• Clear up – clear up dead mosquitos, 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 from the water
• No standing water – don’t leave standing water (in watering cans by way of example) as this gives 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
