Mosquito Control

​

Mosquito treatments are targeted to outdoor harbourage areas where mosquitoes rest and breed. Treatment focuses on shaded, damp, and protected areas around the home to help reduce mosquito activity and make outdoor areas more comfortable.

 

Best results require reducing breeding sources (standing water). Treatments reduce adult mosquito activity, but mosquitoes can return if nearby breeding water remains.

​

Common Mosquito Activity Areas

​​

• Under decks and pergolas

• Shaded garden areas and dense shrubs

• Around ponds, water features, and drainage lines

• Near blocked gutters, pot trays, containers, and standing water

• Around outdoor seating, entryways, and fence lines

​

Common Mosquitos

​

• Saltmarsh Mosquito

• Common Banded Mosquito

• Southern House Mosquito

​

Important Safety Note

Mosquito treatments are typically applied to outdoor harbourage areas. Keep people and pets away during application and until treated surfaces are fully dry (usually 2–4 hours). Remove or cover pet bowls, toys, outdoor furniture items, and any exposed items in treatment zones.

​

You may notice improvement within 24–72 hours. Results vary depending on weather conditions and nearby breeding sources (standing water).

​

Follow-up treatments may be recommended depending on mosquito pressure, weather conditions, nearby breeding sources (standing water), and how activity responds after the initial service. If required, we’ll discuss this with you and confirm pricing before booking.

Preparation Required (Before Treatment)

​To ensure a safe and effective service, please complete the following before our technician arrives:

​

• Remove or cover pet bowls and any items in outdoor treatment areas (toys, outdoor food/water containers)

• Tip out or empty any standing water where possible (buckets, pot trays, tarps, bird baths, containers)

• Keep gates clear/unlocked and provide access to the yard, side path, and outdoor areas being treated

• Let us know if there are any ponds, rainwater tanks, blocked drains, or known mosquito breeding areas on the property

• Keep pets secured indoors or away from the areas being treated

 

Preparation Required (After Treatment)

​To ensure the treatment works effectively and keeps everyone safe:

​

• Keep people and pets away from treated outdoor areas until fully dry (usually 2–4 hours) or until advised

• Avoid hosing down treated areas (shrubs, fences, under decks/eaves) for at least 48 hours unless advised

• Continue removing standing water where possible to help reduce breeding

• Some mosquito activity may continue briefly before reducing

• Contact us if mosquito activity continues beyond the recommended timeframe
