Mosquitoes can make a warm evening in the backyard hard to enjoy. In Chadstone, they build up from late spring through to autumn, especially after rain and in homes close to creeks, wetlands and parkland. They breed in still water, and even a small amount in a pot plant saucer, blocked gutter or old tyre can produce a lot of mosquitoes in a week or two.
Adult mosquitoes spend the day resting in shady, sheltered spots such as thick shrubs, under decks, along fences and in the leaves of trees. The crew we book treats these resting areas around the yard, which cuts down the number of mosquitoes biting in the evening. They will also walk the yard with you and point out spots where water is collecting.

- Checking for standing water in pots, gutters and drains

- Timing the treatment before summer or a backyard event
Before the visit, tip out water from pot saucers, buckets, toys and anything else that collects rain. Clear leaves from gutters if you can reach them easily, and mow the lawn a day or two before. On the day, keep pets and children inside until the treated areas are dry.
Mosquito treatment reduces numbers for a period of weeks, depending on rain and weather, so many homes book again during a long, wet summer. For health questions about bites, speak to your doctor. Call 03 7053 9838 for upfront pricing on mosquito treatment in Chadstone.
