Largely spread by Culex mosquitoes..
Adult emergence typically commences around mid-afternoon, and reaches a maximum around dusk [10]. Cx. tritaeniorhynchus generally has a biphasic biting profile - with feeding peaking around 7pm, declining throughout the midnight hours, then peaking again around 3am.
Stagnant water…primary breeding sites (including water barrels etc)…
There are effective larvicide treatments for permanent standing water.
As an aside and disclaimer, the company I work for is a big manufacturer of mosquito control products. From traditional to organic and everything in between…stay safe everyone!
