Mosquito season in regional Victoria often arrives quietly—until outdoor spaces become uncomfortable and bites become constant. What many people don’t realise is that mosquitoes in regional areas can carry Ross River Virus, a disease with long-term health impacts.
With rivers, wetlands, and irrigation districts spread across the state, regional Victorian communities face an elevated risk each year.
If mosquitoes are disrupting your lifestyle now, it’s unlikely the problem will resolve on its own.
The Long-Lasting Impact of Ross River Virus
Ross River Virus can cause prolonged joint pain, stiffness, fatigue, and reduced mobility. For some people, symptoms last for months, impacting work and everyday life.
With no vaccine available, preventing mosquito bites remains the most reliable defence.
Reducing mosquito numbers around your property significantly lowers your risk of infection.
Why Regional Victoria Is a Mosquito Hotspot
Floodplains, wetlands, creeks, and irrigation systems create ideal breeding conditions throughout regional Victoria—especially after rainfall or flooding.
Higher-risk areas include communities near the Murray River, Goulburn Valley, Gippsland wetlands, and irrigation districts. Mosquitoes can travel from nearby breeding sites, meaning even dry properties are not immune.
If your home is near water or farmland, a professional inspection can reveal hidden mosquito sources.
Why Repellent Alone Isn’t Enough
While personal repellents help reduce bites, they don’t stop mosquito populations from growing. Mosquitoes continue breeding in standing water and resting in shaded areas around your home.
Without population control, mosquito pressure builds throughout the season.
When outdoor areas become unusable, professional mosquito control is the next step.
