Where mosquitoes breed
Mosquitoes need standing water to breed — even small amounts in plant saucers, blocked gutters, drains or pooled water. Removing and treating these sources is the most effective control.
How treatment works
We inspect the property for breeding sites, advise on removing standing water, and where appropriate treat vegetation and resting areas. Lasting control is mainly about source reduction.
Practical prevention tips
- Empty saucers, buckets and anything holding water weekly
- Keep gutters clear of leaves
- Maintain pools and keep them covered when not in use
- Trim dense, shaded vegetation where mosquitoes rest
Questions we're asked
Can you guarantee no mosquitoes?
No — mosquitoes travel and can't be eliminated entirely. Reducing breeding sites and resting areas makes a meaningful difference to activity around your home.
Is treatment safe around kids and pets?
We apply products in a targeted way and advise on any precautions. Source reduction is the safest, longest-lasting part of the approach.
