A barrier spray targets adult mosquitoes where they spend the day. Mosquitoes do not like heat or wind, so between dawn and dusk they rest in cool, shady places close to the ground. On the Gold Coast that usually means thick hedges, palms, the underside of decks, behind lattice, along side fences and in garden beds packed with leafy plants. Treating these spots means fewer mosquitoes are waiting to bite when you step outside in the evening.
The crew we book walks the yard first to find where mosquitoes are resting, then sprays those areas with a backpack or hand sprayer. The spray goes on the undersides of leaves and on shaded surfaces. They work slowly so the spray reaches the inside of hedges and the back of garden beds. A barrier spray visit covers:
- Hedges, shrubs and dense garden beds
- Fence lines and lattice screens
- The underside of decks and stairs
- Shaded walls, eaves and patio edges
- Areas near the pool or outdoor seating
Before the crew arrives, move toys, cushions and pet bowls away from garden beds and close nearby windows. Keep people and pets off treated plants until they are dry. The crew will tell you how long that is likely to take on the day. If you have fish in a pond or a veggie patch you want left alone, tell us when you call. Rain soon after a spray can wash some of it off, so the crew may suggest a different day if a storm is on the way.
A barrier spray works well alongside larvae treatment on blocks with ponds or drains. To book a barrier spray on the Gold Coast, call 07 3543 7765 for upfront pricing and a nearby crew.
