Mosquitoes are part of life on the Sunshine Coast, especially around the canals, rivers and wetlands after summer rain. They rest in shady shrubs, under decks and in long grass during the day, then come out at dawn and dusk. If your deck, pool area or backyard is hard to use in the evenings, a yard treatment can make a real difference.
The crew we book walks the yard to find where mosquitoes are breeding and resting. Breeding sites are any spot where water sits for more than a few days, such as pot plant saucers, blocked gutters, old tyres, bromeliads and tarps. Resting spots are cool, shady and sheltered. The crew treats the resting areas and points out breeding spots for you to empty or clear.

- Advice on gutters, pot plants and water features
Between visits, tip out any water that collects after rain, change pet water bowls every day or two, and keep gutters clear. Screens on windows and doors help indoors. Mosquito numbers rise and fall with the weather, so many people book before a backyard party or once the wet season starts. The crew will tell you how long to keep pets and kids off the treated plants.
Homes that back onto canals, creeks, parks or bushland usually need more attention than homes in the middle of a built-up street. Tell us about your yard when you call, including any ponds, water tanks or thick garden beds, so the crew can plan the visit. For mosquito treatment anywhere on the Sunshine Coast, call 07 3543 7766.
