Mosquitoes are a regular part of summer in Ipswich, especially near rivers, creeks, dams and low-lying parks. They breed in any still water, from buckets and pot plant saucers to water tanks without screens, blocked gutters and old tyres. During the day they rest in shady, damp spots such as hedges, under decks and in thick garden beds, then come out at dusk and dawn when people are outside.
The crew we book treats the resting areas around the home and looks for breeding spots. A treatment on shady foliage and under decks cuts the number of adult mosquitoes, while clearing or treating breeding water stops new ones from hatching. On larger blocks, troughs, dams and old equipment holding water are worth checking too, as they can produce large numbers after a storm.
- A walk around the yard to find breeding water
- Treatment of hedges, shrubs and shady resting areas
- Attention to decks, patios, eaves and outdoor living areas
- Treatment of water that cannot be emptied, where suitable
- Tips on gutters, tanks, troughs and pot plant saucers
Between visits, tip out standing water once a week, keep gutters clear and check that tank inlets have intact screens. Mosquitoes build up quickly after rain, so many households book a treatment at the start of the wet season or before a backyard event. Fly screens on windows and doors also help keep them out of the house. For bites or any health worry, ask a doctor.
