  2. MOSQUITO PEST CONTROL At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we understand the annoyance and health risks associated with mosquito infestations. Mosquitoes are known to spread disease and can make it difficult to enjoy your outdoor space. That’s why we offer comprehensive mosquito pest control services to eliminate these pests and prevent them from returning.

  3. MOSQUITOS Mosquitoes in Australia are ubiquitous in urban and rural environments, with around 300 known species found across the continent. These small, flying insects are not only a nuisance to humans due to their itchy bites but also act as vectors for transmitting diseases such as the Ross River virus and the Barmah Forest virus. Some notable Australian mosquito species include the saltmarsh mosquito, a particularly aggressive biter, and the common house mosquito, often found close to human habitation.

  4. WHERE DO MOSQUITOES LIVE? Mosquitoes are found throughout Australia and can inhabit various environments depending on the species. However, they typically thrive in areas with suitable breeding sites and sources of standing water. Here are familiar places where mosquitoes live in Australia: Wetlands and Marshes: Mosquitoes are well-adapted to wetland environments, including marshes, swamps, and coastal areas. These habitats provide great breeding sites, such as stagnant water pools, ponds, and flooded areas. Urban Areas: Mosquitoes can be found in urban and suburban environments, particularly in regions with high humidity and adequate water sources. They can breed in artificial containers like discarded tires, flowerpots, birdbaths, and water-filled containers found in residential areas.

  5. HOW CAN I PREVENT MOSQUITO BITES? Use Mosquito Repellent: Apply an effective mosquito repellent to exposed skin surfaces. Look for products containing ingredients like DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE), as these are effective in repelling mosquitoes. Follow the instructions on the repellent label for proper and safe use. Avoid Peak Mosquito Activity: Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk. Therefore, limit your outdoor activities during these times when mosquito activity is highest.

  6. WHAT DO MOSQUITOES EAT? Female Mosquitoes: Female mosquitoes feed on the blood of animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. They have specialized mouthparts called proboscis, which they use to pierce the skin of their host and extract blood. The protein obtained from the blood is essential for egg development. Male Mosquitoes: On the other hand, male mosquitoes do not require blood for their survival or reproduction. They primarily feed on plant nectar and other sources of sugar. Their diet comprises plant juices and nectar from flowers or other plant parts.
