There has been a spike in the number of mosquitoes recently. This has been caused by high tides which have prevented effective spraying. More details are in the press release – see link below.
This could not have come at a worse time as the fires have destroyed much of the mosquitoes habitat and it appears that they are targeting people even more than usual. So please take extra precautions – Ross River virus on top of all our other problems would be a REALLY bad thing!!
