Mosquito Activity in the City of Swan — Why This Area Gets More Mozzies

The City of Swan has a unique mix of wetlands, riverside pockets, and warm summer weather — the perfect combination for mosquitoes to breed. Areas near the Swan River, Jane Brook, and residential lakes in Ellenbrook and Aveley can experience higher mosquito numbers at certain times of the year.

Why Mosquitoes Thrive Here

• Warm temperatures speed up breeding cycles.

• Stagnant water found in lakes, drains, gutters, and garden containers provides ideal breeding spots.

• Homes near natural waterways often notice increased activity after rain or warm evenings.

Risks for Local Residents

While most bites are simply irritating, mosquitoes can carry viruses and cause swelling or allergic reactions in some people. Outdoor entertainment, kids playing outside, and evening walks can all become less enjoyable when mosquito numbers rise.

How Residents Can Reduce Mosquito Numbers

• Clean out gutters regularly to stop water from pooling.

• Empty buckets, plant pot trays, birdbaths, and water toys weekly.

• Keep window and door screens in good condition.

• Use outdoor fans and insect repellents during peak periods.

TMO Pest Control offers targeted mosquito treatments that help reduce breeding zones and adult mosquito activity, keeping your outdoor areas more comfortable through the warmer months.
