Humans tend to be the most abundant source of food in many local areas close to wetland breeding areas favoured by these insects. Problems therefore arise where human activities or habitation, occur in proximity to these insect breeding areas. The extensive areas of wet low-land and intertidal areas along the Tweed coastal districts represent extensive breeding areas for both mosquitoes and biting midge and therefore must be regulated.
