Mosquito fogging is a quick treatment for the mosquitoes flying around your yard right now. The crew we book uses a fogging machine to fill the garden with a very fine mist. It drifts through shrubs, under decks and along fence lines, and knocks down the adult mosquitoes it touches. It is a common booking in Manly before a birthday party, a backyard wedding or a long weekend barbecue.
Fogging works on the air, not on the surfaces, so the effect is short. It clears the yard for an evening or a day or two, then new mosquitoes move back in from nearby gardens, parks and the foreshore. For that reason it is often paired with a barrier spray a few days earlier, so the resting spots are treated as well. The visit usually covers:
- A quick walk to plan the route and check the wind
- Fogging of garden beds, hedges and under decks
- Extra attention to the areas guests will use most
- Advice on when to set up tables, food and drinks
For the visit, bring pets inside, close doors and windows, and cover or move outdoor food areas, fish ponds and vegetable beds. People and pets should stay inside while the fog is being applied and until it settles, and the crew will explain how long that is on the day. Calm evenings suit fogging, because wind carries the mist away before it reaches the mosquitoes sheltering in the garden.
If you have an event coming up, book a week or two ahead so we can place you on a nearby crew's run. Call 07 3543 7771 to book mosquito fogging in Manly and get upfront pricing for your yard.
