Mosquito control is the job we book most often in Manly. It brings together three things: finding and removing breeding water, spraying the places adult mosquitoes rest, and treating any water that has to stay. The aim is simple. Fewer mosquitoes around the house, so you can sit on the deck or by the pool in the evening without being bitten every few minutes.
The crew we book starts with a slow walk around the whole block. They look in gutters, downpipes, pot saucers, tarps, drains, bromeliads and boat covers, and anywhere else rain can pool. Then they treat the shady plants, fences, lattice and under-deck areas where mosquitoes shelter during the heat of the day. A typical visit includes:
- A yard inspection for breeding water and resting spots
- Tipping out containers or showing you which ones to empty
- A barrier spray to hedges, shrubs, fences and under decks
- Larvae treatment for ponds, sumps and drains that hold water
- Simple tips for gutters, tank mesh and weekly yard checks
Before the visit, mow the lawn, bring in cushions and pet bowls, and close windows on the sides being sprayed. Keep people and pets off treated plants until they are dry. If you keep fish in a pond, mention it when you call so the crew can bring a suitable product or suggest another option. Homes close to the bay may notice mosquitoes drifting in again after a king tide, so many people book a treatment in spring and another in mid-summer.
