With the Caboolture River, creeks, dams and the bay not far away, mosquitoes are part of summer in Caboolture. They breed in any still water, from farm dams and blocked gutters to pot plant saucers and tyres, and rest during the day in shady shrubs, long grass and under verandahs. Evenings on the back deck can be hard work when numbers are high.
The crew we book walks the yard to find where mosquitoes are resting and breeding. They apply a residual treatment to the underside of foliage, hedges, fences, under decks and highset homes, and in shaded garden areas close to the house. They also point out standing water they find, such as blocked gutters, buckets, uncovered tanks, pet water bowls and old tyres, so you can tip it out or cover it.
A yard treatment reduces the number of mosquitoes around the home, but it cannot stop them flying in from dams, creeks and bushland nearby, so many people book at the start of the season and again after heavy rain. Between visits, tip out standing water twice a week, keep flyscreens in good repair and clear leaf litter from gutters. On acreage, the crew will focus on the areas you use most around the house. For any health questions about bites, speak to a doctor.
