Mosquitoes can make a Buderim backyard hard to enjoy on a warm evening. The suburb gets heavy summer rain, and water sits in gutters, pot plant saucers, water features and blocked drains, as well as in the creeks and gullies that run down the slopes. Rainforest gullies stay damp and shady, which suits mosquitoes. After a wet week, a new wave of mosquitoes can appear quickly.
When you call, tell us about the size of the yard, the plants and any water features, tanks or nearby creeks. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book sprays the shady, sheltered spots where adult mosquitoes rest in the heat of the day, and checks the yard for breeding water.
- Dense shrubs, hedges and the underside of leaves
- Shady fences, walls and garden corners
- Under decks, pergolas and the house
- Checks of gutters, saucers, tanks and water features
Before the visit, empty anything holding water, move toys and outdoor cushions inside and keep pets indoors until the spray has dried. Cover fish ponds if the crew asks. Ponds with fish tend to have fewer larvae, as the fish eat them. Keep gutters clear and tip out saucers every few days, because the treatment reduces adult mosquitoes but new ones hatch wherever water sits. Screens on doors and windows help too.
Many households in Buderim book a mosquito treatment before summer parties, school holidays or the start of the wet season. Tell us about any events coming up so the crew can time the visit. Call 07 3543 7765 to get a price and book a visit.
