Mosquitoes are part of life on the Sunshine Coast, with canals, rivers, wetlands and summer storms giving them plenty of places to breed. After heavy rain, numbers can jump within a week or two. A yard treatment targets the places adult mosquitoes rest during the day, so there are fewer of them biting when you are outside in the evening.
When you call, tell us about your yard, how big it is, what plants you have and whether you are near water. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works your suburb. The crew we book walks the yard, finds the shady, sheltered resting spots and sprays them, then points out any water that is letting mosquitoes breed.
- Shrubs, hedges and the underside of leaves
- Fences, walls and shady garden corners
- Under decks, houses and outdoor furniture
- Checks of pot plant saucers, gutters, tyres and toys that hold water
- Advice on drains, ponds and water tanks
Before the visit, tip out anything holding water, clean the gutters and move toys and furniture out of the garden beds. Keep kids and pets inside while the crew sprays and until the leaves are dry. A treatment cuts numbers for a period of weeks, but new mosquitoes can fly in from nearby wetlands, so many households book again during the wet season.
Homes near the Maroochy River, the Mooloolah River, canals and wetlands across the Sunshine Coast tend to see the most mosquitoes. Book before a party or a holiday stay if you want the yard ready in time. Call 07 3543 7771 to get a price and book a visit.
