What do the results mean?
The circles on the maps above indicate the locations of 'Zika Mozzie Seekers' and the approximate number of eggs on their collection strips.
Zero eggs This is an important result. It might mean there are no domestic mosquitoes at your place. Otherwise, it could indicate an issue with the set up of your trap or be related to the recent run of very hot weather, which meant mozzie numbers could have been lower than expected in some areas.
1-75 eggs A low number of eggs
76-200 eggs An intermediate number of eggs
201-1,000 eggs A high number of eggs
Over 1,001 eggs A very high number of eggs
If you have mozzie eggs (especially intermediate, high or very high), take steps to prevent mozzies around your home.
How to prevent mozzies
There are several effective ways to reduce the number of mozzies around your property, and reduce your chances of being bitten. One great example is removing water tanks and containers from your garden.
Taking steps to prevent mozzies can reduce your chances of contracting diseases spread by mozzies and make your outdoor environment more pleasant.
