A mosquito barrier spray targets adult mosquitoes where they spend the day. In Brisbane summers, mosquitoes shelter from the heat on the underside of leaves, in thick hedges, behind lattice and under decks and houses. When they land on treated surfaces, they are knocked down, which reduces how many are around when you head outside in the evening.
The crew we book uses a backpack mister or sprayer to reach deep into plants and along boundaries. They pay special attention to the side of the yard closest to parks, creeks or bushland, since that is where many mosquitoes drift in from. Flowering plants that bees visit are treated with extra thought or left out, and the crew talks this through with you.
- Treatment of shrubs, hedges and the underside of leaves
- A spray along fences, lattice and retaining walls
- Coverage under decks, stairs and raised Queenslanders
- Attention to shady corners near pools and outdoor seating
- Advice on trimming dense plants to let in light and air
Before the visit, move outdoor furniture cushions, toys and pet bowls inside, and water the garden the day before rather than the morning of the visit. Keep pets and children inside until the spray has dried, and close windows on the sides of the house being treated.
A barrier spray reduces numbers for a period rather than clearing every mosquito, and heavy rain or strong growth can shorten that time. Many Brisbane households book a barrier spray every few weeks through the wet months, or before a gathering. Call 07 3543 7768 to book a mosquito barrier spray and hear the price upfront.
