Mosquitoes in Melbourne – What You Need to Know

Melbourne’s mix of urban housing, gardens, wetlands, and unpredictable weather makes it an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes—especially in spring and summer.

Mosquitoes are not just a nuisance. Some species are capable of transmitting diseases, including:

• Ross River virus

• Barmah Forest virus

• Murray Valley encephalitis (in rare cases)

• Allergic reactions and infections from excessive scratching

🚫 A single female mosquito can lay hundreds of eggs in standing water around your home.

Common Mosquito Species in Melbourne

1. Aedes notoscriptus (Backyard Mosquito)

The most common mosquito in Melbourne suburbs. Found breeding in pot plant trays, gutters, birdbaths, and buckets.

✅ Active during the day and early evening

✅ Known to bite aggressively around ankles and arms

2. Culex annulirostris (Common Banded Mosquito)

A dusk and nighttime biter found around water sources such as dams, wetlands, and creeks. Known to transmit viruses like Ross River and Barmah Forest.
