A Small Bug is Turning Into a Major Problem in Hervey Bay
The humble Midge is beginning to drive people out of their homes in Hervey Bay
It’s hard to believe that in this day and age something as insignificant as a tiny Midge could be having such an impact right here in Hervey Bay but it certainly is … and the impact is being felt in more places than just Hervey Bay.
Last week The Courier Mail reported that some areas of Brisbane that were once Midge free are now becoming infested with the insect and people really are beginning to suffer.
One family, who arrived here from England several months ago and took up residence in a new part of Urangan, are moving out on their doctor’s advice after their four year old became a target for the pest.
It seems that the house they moved into had been vacant and on the market for six months before they arrived. In that time it had failed to attract a buyer because of the Midge problem in the area.
Just as the Midge is beginning to encroach on Brisbane suburbia we can expect it to move further into Hervey Bay too. This year’s Midge season looks like being a rather nasty one.
