With its humid subtropical climate, the Gold Coast is one of the most beautiful places to live and vacation in Australia. Unfortunately, the wonderful weather attracts as many pests as it does guests, and home and business owners alike will want to take proper precautions when it comes to that most nagging of nuisances: flying insects.
From bees and wasps to flies and mosquitoes, properties of all shapes and sizes are prone to an invasion of flying pests. Among others, consider the following preventative tips and tricks:
Mosquitoes
Irritating to say the least, mosquitoes are especially attracted to still or standing water. Clean pools regularly, flush your birdbath, and put away toys to prevent them from collecting dew overnight. Invest in bug spray or citronella candles to deter these bug-sucking bugs from your backyard, or research DIY methods to keep them at bay.
Wasps and Bees
Critical to the survival of many plant species, bees are essential pollinators that typically do not sting unless provoked. Practice caution when cohabiting with these buzzing bugs.
Unlike bees, wasps will often sting without provocation, and many times at that. Attracted to sweet food and drink, wasps (such as hornets and yellow jackets) can be aggressive, and often require prompt and professional extermination.
