Natural and High-Tech Solutions to Avoid Mozzies this Summer
Prepare now for a mozzie-free spring and summer
Mosquito season unfortunately coincides with our own peak season for outdoor recreation and entertainment. As well as being an annoyance, mosquitoes can transmit serious diseases to humans. Mosquito-borne viruses including Murray Valley encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, Barmah Forest virus, Kunjin virus, and Ross River virus are found in Australia, with Japanese encephalitis being the only mosquito-borne disease which is vaccine-preventable.
Human cases of Murray Valley encephalitis and Japanese encephalitis were reported in south-eastern Australian states and territories in the 2022/2023 mosquito season. Alarmingly, cases of Japanese encephalitis in Victoria were reported for the first time in 2022 while cases of Murray Valley encephalitis were last reported in 1974[i] , indicating its return to parts of Australia.
Complementing individual precautionary measures against mosquito bites, there are a range of natural and high-tech solutions available to counter uninvited mosquitos ruining an outdoor social event. Citronella-based products provide ambiance and mosquito-repelling functionality for smaller areas, while high-tech solutions provide larger coverage areas and offer the ability to repel or kill mosquitos, perfect for families and friends enjoying outdoor activities.
