Small Insects, Big Irritation
Biting midges can cause persistent, irritating bites that may become sore or infected.
Unlike a mosquito bite, biting midges inject an anticoagulant in their saliva when they feed. The itching and irritation people experience is caused by the body’s response to these chemicals.
While biting midges in Australia are not known to transmit diseases that affect humans, their bites can still make outdoor areas extremely uncomfortable.
When Are Biting Midges Most Active?
Biting midges and mosquitoes have similar activity patterns. They are generally more active around dawn and dusk, particularly in windy conditions, and are often found in similar outdoor environments to mosquitoes.
Properties near suitable breeding habitats may experience increased activity at certain times of the day and year.
How Treatment Works
When we carry out a Residual Barrier Treatment, areas where biting midges commonly rest are treated. The treatment remains on these surfaces, meaning biting midges that come into contact with the treated areas can be controlled.
This helps reduce the number of biting midges around your outdoor spaces and can make areas such as patios, entertaining spaces and gardens more comfortable to use.
Mosquito & Biting Midge Control
Because biting midges and mosquitoes often occupy similar environments, a Residual Barrier Treatment can help target both pests around the property. Treatment focuses on suitable outdoor resting areas and vegetation where these insects are likely to spend time.
This provides a practical option for properties experiencing both mosquito and biting midge activity.
Enjoy Your Outdoor Areas Again
Biting midges may be small, but their persistent bites can make spending time outside unpleasant.
A professional Residual Barrier Treatment can help reduce biting midge activity around your property, giving you a more comfortable outdoor environment for entertaining, relaxing or spending time with family.
Hi, just wanted to let you know how impressed my wife and I are with the treatment. We had a BBQ just last night out the back and didn't get bitten at all where we used to get eaten! Thanks again.
