Living near Moreton Bay has plenty going for it, but mosquitoes are part of the deal, especially after summer rain and king tides. In Redlands, mangrove flats, creeks and backyard water all give them places to breed. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew to treat the yard so you can use the outdoor areas again.
Adult mosquitoes spend the day resting in cool, shady spots and come out at dusk. The crew sprays these resting places: the undersides of leaves on shrubs and hedges, under decks and patios, along fences, around water tanks and in damp corners of the garden. They also look for water where mosquitoes are breeding, such as blocked gutters, pot plant saucers, old tyres and buckets, and point these out to you.

A yard treatment cuts the number of mosquitoes resting near the house, but it cannot touch the ones breeding in the mangroves or wetlands nearby. Emptying standing water each week and keeping gutters clear makes a big difference. Water tanks need intact mesh over the inlets, which the crew can check. Many households book before a party, a wedding in the garden or the start of the wet season.
Before the crew arrives, bring pets inside and cover fish ponds. The crew will say when the yard is ready to use again. To book mosquito treatment for your Redlands yard, call 07 3543 7768. We will give you upfront pricing and line up a local team, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
