Mosquitoes can take over a backyard in Brisbane during the wet season, especially in homes near the river, Kedron Brook, Enoggera Creek or low-lying parks. They breed in still water and spend the day resting in shady, sheltered spots before coming out around dusk. Mosquito control treats those resting spots and helps you find the water they are breeding in.
When you call, we ask about the size of the yard, how much garden and shade there is, and what water is around. The crew we book treats the undersides of leaves, dense shrubs, fence lines, the space under decks and other damp, shady corners. They also look for breeding spots such as saucers under pot plants, blocked gutters, buckets and tarps holding water.

A treatment brings numbers down around the home for a number of weeks, although new mosquitoes can fly in from parks, creeks and wetlands nearby. Many homes in Brisbane book mosquito control at the start of the wet season and again later in summer, or before a party or family gathering in the backyard.
To get ready, shift outdoor furniture, toys and pet bowls away from the garden beds, and keep pets inside while the crew works and until the treated areas are dry. Between visits, tipping out any still water once a week makes a real difference. Call 07 3543 7771 to book mosquito control and we will give you the price upfront.
