Living close to the Bremer River and low-lying ground means summer mosquitoes are part of life in Dinmore. After storms, water sits in pot plant saucers, blocked gutters, buckets, tyres, kids toys, tarps and low spots in the yard, and mosquitoes can breed in it within days. Homes on larger blocks, near drains or close to the river flats usually notice them the most, especially at dawn and dusk.
When you ring, we ask about the size of the yard, where the mosquitoes are worst and whether there is water sitting around. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book walks the yard first to find breeding spots and the shady places where adult mosquitoes rest during the day, such as dense shrubs, hedges, under decks and under the house. Those areas are the focus of the treatment.
A mosquito treatment may include:
- A barrier spray on shrubs, hedges, under decks and shady walls
- Treatment of drains, water features and spots where water pools
- Checks of gutters, downpipes and rainwater tank screens
- Pointers on tipping out and covering containers around the yard
- Advice on thinning out dense plants where mosquitoes rest
A treatment goes further when water is tipped out regularly, since mosquitoes can breed in something as small as a bottle cap of water. Plenty of households book before a birthday party or family gathering, or at the start of the wet season. The crew will tell you how long to keep people and pets away from treated plants. For health questions about bites, ask a doctor. To book a mosquito treatment in Dinmore, ring 07 3543 7773.
