Mosquitoes are part of a Brisbane summer, but some yards in Brisbane get far more than others. Homes near the river, creeks, parks and low-lying streets often find their outdoor areas hard to use from late spring through autumn. Adult mosquitoes rest in shady, humid spots during the day and come out at dusk, while their larvae grow in any still water they can find.
When you call, tell us about the size of the yard, any ponds or water features and where the mosquitoes seem worst. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book walks the yard looking for breeding water and resting spots, then treats the areas where adults gather.
- A search for still water in gutters, saucers, drains and toys
- Treatment of shaded shrubs, hedges and garden beds
- A spray under decks, along fences and around outdoor living areas
- Treatment of water that cannot be tipped out, such as pits and drains
- Advice on tanks, gutters and pot plants
The biggest difference comes from stopping mosquitoes breeding in the first place. Tip out anything holding water after rain, clean blocked gutters, keep water tank screens in good repair and change pet water bowls daily. A treatment then knocks down the adults that are already around, which is why many people book one before a party or at the start of the wet season.
A yard treatment does not replace personal repellent, so keep using it outdoors at dusk. The crew can suggest how often a yard like yours might need treating through the warmer months. To book mosquito control in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7767 and we will arrange a local crew.
