Mosquitoes breed in still water and rest in shady, sheltered parts of the garden during the day. Homes in Mornington Peninsula near wetlands, creeks and dams, or with ponds, water tanks and pot plant saucers, can have a hard time enjoying the backyard on summer evenings. We take the details, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew to treat the outdoor areas.
The crew we book walks the yard to find where mosquitoes are breeding and resting. Mosquitoes rarely fly far from where they breed, so the source is often in your own yard or the one next door. The crew treats the undersides of leaves on shrubs and hedges, the shaded walls of the house and shed, under decks and around outdoor living areas. They will also point out standing water that can be tipped out or covered.
- Yard walk to find breeding and resting spots
- Treatment of shrubs, hedges and shaded garden beds
- Attention to decks, pergolas and outdoor living areas
- Advice on gutters, tanks, ponds and pot plant saucers
- Timing tips so treatment lines up with outdoor plans
Before the visit, tip out buckets, toys and saucers that hold water, and empty anything else that collects rain. Keep pets inside while the crew works and until the treated areas are dry. If you have a fish pond, show the crew so they can keep treatment away from it.
Mosquito numbers on the peninsula climb after warm, wet weather, and a treatment before a party, wedding or long weekend can make the yard more comfortable. For any health question about bites, ask a doctor. Call 03 9022 1297 and tell us about your yard, and we will give you upfront pricing and book a crew near Mornington Peninsula.
