Mosquito Breeding
Mosquito breeding occurs in freshwater after periods of high rainfall where there is flooding of the wetlands. Mosquitoes are known to present serious health risks and cause considerable nuisance to residents and visitors to the Shire of Capel. Read more about how far Mozzies travel in the ‘Mozzie Mark and Recapture Project’.
