With lakes, wetlands and creeks close by, many homes in North Lakes see plenty of mosquitoes from late spring through to autumn. They are at their worst at dawn and dusk, around outdoor living areas, shaded garden beds and anywhere water sits after rain. A yard treatment can make the outdoor areas far more pleasant, especially before a barbecue or a weekend with visitors.
The crew we book walks the yard to find where mosquitoes rest during the day and where they are breeding. Resting spots include the underside of leaves in dense shrubs, under decks, along fences and in shady corners. The crew treats these areas with a residual spray and points out any standing water they find, such as blocked gutters, pot plant saucers, old tyres, buckets and uncovered water tanks.
A mosquito treatment reduces numbers around the home but will not stop mosquitoes flying in from the lakes or reserves nearby, so most people book it at the start of the season and again after heavy rain. Between visits, tip out standing water every few days, keep gutters clear and check that flyscreens on doors and windows are in good repair. For any question about bites and health, ask a doctor.
