They’re tiny, whiny, and surprisingly fascinating. Here are some buzzy facts about mozzies that’ll make you see these little vampires in a whole new light — and make you appreciate your Buzzaroo! Outdoor Mist even more!
1️⃣ Only the females bite!
That’s right — male mozzies are harmless flower boys. They feed on nectar, not blood. Females need the extra protein for their eggs.
2️⃣ Mozzies are attracted to CO₂ — your breath!
When you exhale, you send out a little “dinner bell” that helps mozzies find you in the dark.
3️⃣ They love sweaty people.
Mozzies are drawn to body heat and sweat — especially lactic acid, which is why they adore campers, runners, and backyard BBQ heroes.
4️⃣ They can smell you from over 30 metres away!
That’s like a mozzie detecting a sausage sizzle from half a football field away.
5️⃣ There are more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes.
But don’t panic — only a handful of them find humans delicious.
6️⃣ Mozzies flap their wings up to 600 times per second.
That high-pitched whine? It’s basically their mating song. Romantic, right?
7️⃣ Some mozzies prefer beer drinkers. 🍺
Studies show mosquitoes are more attracted to people who’ve had a drink — yet another reason to share your Buzzaroo Mist with mates.
8️⃣ Mosquitoes are one of the deadliest animals on Earth.
They might be tiny, but they transmit diseases like malaria and dengue — just another reason to love plant-powered protection.
9️⃣ They don’t like certain scents.
Lemon, eucalyptus, citronella, lavender, and rosemary all mess with their ability to track you — which is why Buzzaroo uses them! 🌿
🔟 Mosquitoes are older than dinosaurs.
They’ve been buzzing around for over 100 million years — proof that persistence pays off (even if it’s annoying).
Next time one comes for a nibble, remember: you’ve got nature on your side with Buzzaroo! Outdoor Mist — and a few fun facts to share while you’re swatting.
