Mosquitoes are a big part of summer in South Brisbane, with the river, wet season storms and leafy gardens giving them plenty of places to breed. They rest in shady, sheltered spots during the day, such as under decks, in dense shrubs and along fence lines, and come out at dusk to bother anyone sitting outside. Balconies with pot plants can be just as busy as backyards.
A mosquito treatment targets the places adult mosquitoes rest and the water where they breed. The crew we book walks the yard to find containers, blocked gutters, pot plant saucers, bromeliads and other spots holding water, then treats the shady foliage and resting areas around the home. It works well as part of a routine that also removes breeding water, since a single bucket of rainwater can produce a large number of mosquitoes.
- A walk around the yard to find standing water and breeding spots
- Treatment of shaded foliage, hedges and under decks
- Attention to eaves, walls and outdoor living areas
- Treatment of water that cannot be emptied, where suitable
- Tips on gutters, drains and pot plant saucers
Between visits, tip out any water that collects in buckets, toys, tyres and pot plant saucers at least once a week, and keep gutters clear. Mosquito numbers rise quickly after rain, so many people book a treatment before a party or at the start of the wet season. Screens on windows and doors also help keep them out of the house. For bites or any health worry, ask a doctor.
