'Worst in 30 years': NSW set for ravaging from huge, 'double-sized' mosquitos

It seems the hits keep on coming for Aussies this year, with soaring inflation, record-breaking flooding and interest rate hikes dominating our post-pandemic world.

If you were thinking summer might bring some welcomed relief, you may want to adjust your expectations and start making preparations for a shocker mosquito season - believed to be the worst in 30 years.

Their population numbers have skyrocketed thanks to months and months of wet weather.

Now, these fat, hungry, "double-sized" bloodsuckers are gradually making their way into cities, after already having wreaked havoc in New South Wales' Central West.

"We are told this is what is expected after all of this rain, is the floodwaters recede, we get ponds, these pools of water, the female mozzies go on a frenzy, lay their eggs," Today reporter Sarah Stewart said.

"If not disturbed, 24 hours later this is what happens.

"We are told they haven't seen them this bad in around 30 years.

"Not only is there lots of them. They are giant - double the size."

Stewart said lucky Sydneysiders can expect an influx of the hungry insects in coming weeks, as conditions ripen for even more of the pests.

"We are hearing from farmers if you work outside, they get on your hair, up your nose, they bite them through their hats even," she said.

"Unfortunately, we are told they are going to head to Sydney to the coast, over the coming weeks."

Just weeks ago, Associate Professor Cameron Webb from NSW Health Pathology told 9news.com.au numbers are expected to explode once the weather officially warms up.

"With so much water in the environment after the rains and flooding it creates perfect conditions for mosquitoes," he said.

"At the moment, in many parts of Australia particularly in NSW, it's cooler and that keeps numbers in check.

"As soon as warmer weather arrives we're expecting a population increase."
