Every biting mosquito in your yard started life as a larva in still water. In warm weather that stage takes only about a week, so water that sits for longer than that is worth dealing with. Treating that water slows down the next generation, which is why larvae treatment is such a useful part of mosquito control in North Brisbane. The crew we book looks for water that cannot simply be tipped out and treats it with a larvicide suited to the spot.
On the northside, some of the most common larvae spots are easy to overlook. The crew usually checks:
- Grated stormwater pits and courtyard drains
- Sumps and pits under raised houses
- Box gutters and downpipes on older homes
- Rainwater tanks with damaged mesh
- Ponds, shallow garden bowls and ornamental pots
- Covered boats, trailers and tarps holding rain
Where water can be emptied, the crew tips it out or shows you what to change. Where water needs to stay, they choose a product that fits. Ponds with fish, frogs or water plants need a different approach, so tell us about them when you book. Tank screens should be intact on the inlet and overflow, and the crew will point out any gaps they spot from the ground.
Larvae treatment works hand in hand with a barrier spray and a weekly habit of tipping out water. After a big storm, some spots may need treating again, and pits under raised houses are worth checking after every heavy downpour since they are easy to forget.
