A breeding site inspection is for people who want to understand where their mosquitoes are coming from before paying for a spray. Most mosquitoes around a house breed within a short distance of where they bite, so the answer is often in your own yard or the one next door. In Manly, with its high-set homes, big trees and plenty of boats and trailers, there are lots of places for water to sit. Neighbouring yards matter too, and the crew can point out any sources they can see over the fence so you can have a friendly word next door.
The crew we book goes through the property step by step. They check the obvious places and the ones people rarely think about. Typical finds include:
- Blocked gutters, box gutters and downpipe elbows
- Boat covers, tarps, trailers and upturned kayaks
- Tank inlets and overflows with torn or missing mesh
- Pot saucers, bromeliads, tyres and toys left in the yard
- Shade sail dips, drain pits and blocked subsoil drains
At the end you get a plain list of what they found and what to do about each item. Many fixes cost nothing: tipping out water, drilling a drain hole in a container or turning something upside down. Others need a bit more work, like clearing gutters or replacing tank mesh. Where water has to stay, the crew can treat it for larvae on the spot if you want them to.
This is a good first step if mosquitoes seem to appear from nowhere, or if a spray on its own has not made much difference. To book a breeding site inspection in Manly, call 07 3543 7771 and ask for upfront pricing.
