Why are they considered to be pests? 

Mosquitoes continue to be very efficient vectors of many devastating diseases worldwide. Fortunately the malaria carrying anopheline mosquitoes are only occasionally found in Australia and are generally restricted to the far north. However there are several very serious diseases known to be transmitted by mosquitoes in Australia, including the Ross river virus, Dengue virus, Barmah Forest virus, Murray Valley encephalitis and dog heart worm. People, pets and livestock can also suffer irritating reactions from the injection of saliva from a mosquito's bite.  

What can home owners do to control them?

Prevention of breeding sites around the home is the best way for home owners to reduce mosquito numbers. Ensure that gutters are not blocked and drain water from plant pot saucers or anywhere else it has accumulated. Wear loose fitting clothing such as long sleeved tops and long pants if you are outside around dawn or dusk. Personal insect repellents may also be useful. Avoid lingering around areas where mosquitoes are present.
