Did you know?
Mosquito borne diseases such as, Dengue Fever, Ross River Virus, and Barmah Forest virus can be transmitted through a single mosquito bite. Applying mosquito repellent when outside, particularly during the wet season, is a simple and effective way to protect yourself and your family. Mosquitoes that transmit Dengue Fever are active at all times of the day, not just dawn and dusk. Repellents containing the active ingredients Deet, Picaridin and Lemon Eucalyptus have been scientifically proven to be the most effective in repelling mosquitos.
