Why Professional Mosquito Control Is Important
Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying — they are capable of transmitting serious diseases such as Ross River Virus, Barmah Forest Virus, and Dengue Fever. While these are less common in Brisbane, the risk increases during warmer months, especially in properties with poor drainage or stagnant water sources.
Signs of mosquito problems include:
-
Increased biting or swarming at dawn and dusk
-
Mosquito larvae (“wrigglers”) in still water
-
Bites that are itchy, inflamed, or clustered
-
Mosquito activity near outdoor seating, patios, or rainwater tanks
DIY sprays and repellents may provide short-term relief, but they don’t address the source. That’s where professional mosquito control comes in.
Why Mosquitoes Love Brisbane Homes
Brisbane’s sub-tropical climate provides ideal conditions for mosquito breeding, especially during the warmer, wetter months. Properties with standing water, shaded vegetation, and poor airflow are at higher risk. Mosquitoes can breed in as little as a bottlecap of water — making regular treatment and monitoring essential in keeping them under control.
