Mosquito Control Pest Treatment
With numerous pest species, identifying the exact problem can be challenging. However, if you notice an increase in mosquito bites or see mosquitoes around your property, you are likely dealing with a mosquito issue.
Our Process
When tackling mosquito pest control in the Brisbane area, our technicians begin with a thorough inspection to identify signs of mosquito activity. This inspection helps us locate breeding sites and areas with high mosquito activity, allowing us to effectively target our pest control methods. We then implement treatments designed to eliminate both adult mosquitoes and their larvae, ensuring comprehensive control.
Why Mosquitoes are Considered Pests
Mosquitoes are highly undesirable around homes and buildings due to their bites, which can cause itching and discomfort. More importantly, mosquitoes can transmit serious diseases such as dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus. Effective mosquito control is essential to protect your family’s health and comfort.
Detecting Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes leave behind several telltale signs, including:
- Presence of Adult Mosquitoes
- Mosquito Bites on Skin
- Larvae in Standing Water
- Buzzing Sounds
- Mosquito Eggs on Water Surfaces
- Increased Activity Around Dusk and Dawn
Prevention Tips
Clients often ask how to prevent mosquito infestations. Here are some tips to help control mosquitoes before we conduct a treatment:
- Eliminate Standing Water: Remove or regularly empty containers that collect water, such as buckets, flower pots, and bird baths.
- Clean Gutters: Ensure gutters are clean and free of debris to prevent water accumulation.
- Use Screens: Install or repair window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.
- Maintain Pools: Keep swimming pools clean and chlorinated, and cover them when not in use.
