Mosquito Control
Some mosquitoes have the potential to transmit various diseases, the most notorious of which is the Ross River Virus. In the local area, the type of mosquito that transmits Ross River Virus will generally only breed in stagnant water but other nuisance mosquitoes can breed elsewhere.
To help prevent mosquito breeding and limit numbers of the pest, residents should inspect their property regularly and tip out all water sitting in containers such as pot plant saucers, drums and buckets. It is also important to ensure that all rainwater tanks are correctly fitted with an insect screen on the inlet and the overflow.
Consider installing insect screens on your house, avoid being outside during mosquitoes' peak activity periods at dusk and dawn, use a quality insect repellent and wear long clothing where possible.
