Mosquitoes are a big part of summer in Brisbane, especially after storms and in homes near the river, creeks or low-lying parks. They breed in still water and rest in cool, shaded spots during the day, then come out at dusk. A mosquito treatment focuses on the places around your home where they rest and breed, so you can use the yard again in the evenings.
When you call, we ask about the size of the yard, how much shade and garden there is, and whether there is any water lying about. The crew we book treats the underside of leaves, dense shrubs, fence lines, under decks and other shady resting spots. They also look for water sources that can be emptied or covered, such as pot plant saucers, blocked gutters and old tyres.
- Treatment of shrubs, hedges and the underside of foliage
- Attention to shaded areas under decks, stairs and verandahs
- Checks for still water in saucers, gutters and containers
- Advice on drains, water tanks and pet water bowls to reduce breeding
- A good fit before parties, gatherings or the wet season
A treatment reduces the number of mosquitoes around the home for a period of weeks, but new ones can fly in from nearby parks and wetlands. Many homes in Brisbane book a treatment early in the wet season and again later in summer. Tipping out water around the yard once a week makes a real difference between visits.
Before the crew arrives, shift outdoor furniture, toys and pet bowls away from garden beds. Keep pets inside while the crew works and until the treated areas are dry. To book a mosquito treatment for your yard, call 07 3543 7770 and we will give you the price upfront.
