With more and more housing estates being built along waterways, Midgies are becoming a prevalent problem for many Queenslanders.
Suncoast Outdoor Living have several midge-resistant screens which can help to eliminate these annoying little pests from entering your home.
Midge mesh is designed to restrict smaller insects such as sand flies or midge-type insects from penetrating the larger holes that are in standard fly mesh or security screens.
Although there are few known diseases that are associated with these insects, their bites can be extremely unpleasant and very much unwanted, especially for those who may be allergic.
Biting midges love the blood of human beings. Although many councils now spray to reduce the numbers, there is no known effective treatment process to prevent these insects from breeding and they will travel up to 3km from the breeding site in search of a blood meal.
Biting midges love humidity and moisture. If they sense a meal from a human, they will become highly active under these conditions. They prefer dull days with high humidity and tend to sit on fly screens and vegetation and any shady area whilst waiting for their meal. Queensland offers the perfect weather for these annoying critters.
Stay Protected While Enjoying The Outdoors
As Australians we love the outdoors; we love areas where we can sit and relax and enjoy the fresh air. Back verandahs, screen enclosures, balconies, alfrescos, swimming pool and barbecue areas are places where we love to gather and enjoy a late afternoon drink or family get-together.
Aside from spraying insect repellent either directly to the skin or in the air, the best solution is to install a stylish pool or patio enclosure using our innovative midge mesh.
Screening your alfresco or patio area creates a seamless transition from inside the house to your outdoor entertaining area whilst maintaining the feel of being outside.
