Mosquitoes are a big part of summer around Collingwood Park, especially after storms when water collects in pot plant saucers, blocked gutters, old tyres and toys left in the yard. Homes near creeks, drains and bushland tend to see the most. Many yards have more breeding spots than you would think, like the folds of a tarp, a bromeliad or a blocked drain. A mosquito treatment targets the shady spots where adult mosquitoes rest during the day and the places where they breed.
When you call, we ask about the size of the yard, where you notice mosquitoes most and whether there is standing water nearby. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book walks the yard first, finds where water is sitting, and treats the hedges, shrubs, under decks and other shady areas where mosquitoes shelter.
A mosquito treatment may include:
- A barrier spray on shrubs, hedges and under-deck areas
- Treatment of drains, water features and spots where water pools
- Pointers on tipping out standing water around the yard
- Checks of gutters, downpipes and rainwater tank screens
- Advice on thinning out dense plants where mosquitoes rest
Treatments go further when paired with regular clean-ups of standing water, as mosquitoes can breed in as little as a bottle cap of water. Many households book before a backyard party or before the wet season starts. The crew will tell you how long to keep people and pets off treated plants. If you have health concerns about bites, ask a doctor. To book a mosquito treatment in Collingwood Park, call 07 3543 7765.
