A full mosquito treatment is the job we book most often in Brisbane. It combines a check of the yard for breeding water with a barrier spray of the places adult mosquitoes rest, and treatment of any water that cannot be emptied. The aim is to cut mosquito numbers around your home so you can use the deck, pool area and garden in the evening again.
The crew we book starts with a slow walk around the property. Mosquitoes breed in still water, so they look in gutters, pot saucers, tarps, drains, bromeliads, water features and anything else that holds rain. Then they treat the shady plants, fences and sheltered corners where mosquitoes sit during the heat of the day. A typical visit includes:
- A yard inspection to find breeding water and resting spots
- Tipping out or pointing out containers that hold water
- A barrier spray to shrubs, hedges, lattice and under decks
- Larvae treatment for ponds, drains and water that stays put
- Tips on gutters, tank screens and weekly yard checks
Before the visit, mow the lawn, bring cushions, toys and pet bowls inside and close windows on the sides being treated. Tell us about fish ponds, beehives and vegetable gardens so the crew can plan around them. People and pets should stay off treated plants until they are dry.
Numbers usually drop within a few days, though new mosquitoes can drift in from parks, creeks and neighbouring yards, and heavy rain can bring them back sooner. Many households in Brisbane book a few visits across the wet season. For any health questions, speak with your doctor.
