Queensland is preparing for the invasion of an aggressive and exotic pest that threatens to spread dengue fever to southern capitals. It could mean the end of the outdoor barbecue.
The BBQ Stopper
Queensland scientists have begun breeding the Asian tiger mosquito also know as “The BBQ Stopper”, a highly invasive species with the ability to bite dozens of times a minute.
They’re closely studying the country’s only colony of the dreaded mozzie, caged behind a series of locked doors in Brisbane’s QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute.
Talk to our design consultant at Suncoast Outdoor Living to see how we can make your outdoor living mozzie free.

Reports say people can experience things like 20 or 30 bites per minute … that’s why it’s called the ‘barbecue stopper’.
