Mosquitoes are a summer nuisance across Coorparoo, especially in homes near Norman Creek, parks and leafy gullies. They breed in still water, and in suburban yards that means pot plant saucers, blocked gutters, old tyres, water tanks and even upturned lids. A few small breeding spots can keep a yard busy with mosquitoes all season, making the deck or barbecue area hard to enjoy at dusk.
The crew we book looks for the breeding sites first, then applies a barrier treatment to the plants and shaded areas where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. The aim is to reduce mosquito numbers around the home so outdoor areas are more pleasant to use. It does not remove every mosquito, since new ones can fly in from nearby parks and creeks.
- A walk around the yard to find standing water and breeding spots
- A barrier spray to shrubs, hedges, fences and under decks
- Treatment of drains and water that cannot be emptied
- Advice on gutters, tanks and window screens
Before the visit, tip out water from pot saucers, buckets and toys, and clean out gutters if you can reach them. Keep pets indoors while the crew works and until the spray has dried. Close windows on the side of the house being treated. For any health questions about mosquitoes, speak with a doctor.
Numbers usually drop within a few days, though they can climb again after heavy rain. Many households in Coorparoo book a treatment before summer gatherings or when the wet season arrives. Call 07 3543 7767 to book mosquito treatment and hear the price upfront.
