We are trying to find the best organisation or agency to offer advice on what species is causing the awful bites in Calstock and what measures can be taken to help.
We are aware that we do not know whether the bites are coming from mosquitoes but UKHSA has said it is ok to send specimens in even if it just determines whether mosquitoes are the issue or not.
UKHSA welcomes records and mosquito samples for identification from entomologists, environmental health officers, and people who are affected by mosquito nuisance biting. If you would like to send mosquitoes for identification please download the form from our website or contact us at mosquito@UKHSA.gov.uk
UKHSA has also published a factsheet about mosquitoes: again, we stress, that we are not suggesting they are the cause but the advice may be helpful, generally. UKHSA Mosquito control factsheet
