The City of Mandurah has ramped up their aerial mosquito treatments after an influx of mozzies across the region.
The City has conduced over 13 treatments this season to try and combat the blood-sucking insects.
The mozzie chopper uses two types of larvicides, S - methoprene and Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), which has no adverse effects to the public or other wildlife.
The increase in mosquito activity has been linked to hot temperatures and regular tidal flooding in wetland areas, the perfect combination for mosquito breeding.
Residents are urged to stay inside during peak mozzie times (early morning and late afternoon), apply a repellent with DEET or Picaridin and remove stagnant water around the home to reduce breeding sites.
