Mosquitoes spend their first week or so as larvae in still water, and treating that water is one of the most useful ways to cut numbers around a home in Brisbane. The crew we book looks for water that cannot simply be tipped out, such as ornamental ponds, stormwater pits, drains, water features and low spots that stay wet after rain.
Once they find breeding water, the crew applies a larvae treatment that stops wrigglers developing into biting adults. For water that can be emptied, they show you what to tip out and how often. Rainwater tanks used for drinking are not treated; instead, the crew checks the screens, inlets and overflow for gaps where mosquitoes get in.

Before the visit, make a note of any ponds with fish or frogs, and point out tanks, pits and drains the crew might miss. Clear leaves from gutters if you can reach them from the ground, or tell us if they are blocked so the crew can take a look. Tip out any obvious containers the day before.
Larvae treatment works well alongside a barrier spray, since one targets the next wave of mosquitoes while the other targets the adults already flying. Homes near creeks and low parks in Brisbane often benefit most. Call 07 3543 7768 to book mosquito larvae control and we will give you upfront pricing.
