Not every home on the Gold Coast has a big back yard. Many people live in units, townhouses and apartments along the beachfront and around the town centres, where the only outdoor space is a balcony, patio or small courtyard. Mosquitoes still find these spaces, especially where there are pot plants, a water feature or a garden bed below the railing. A sheltered corner with a few plants can be enough to keep them around. Patio and balcony treatment is a smaller, focused visit for these areas.
The crew we book checks every pot, saucer and planter for standing water, then treats the shady surfaces where mosquitoes rest. On ground-floor patios they also look at nearby garden beds and drains. The visit can include:
- Checking pots, saucers and planter boxes for water
- Treating the underside of outdoor furniture and ledges
- Spraying plants on the patio or courtyard
- Treating nearby garden edges on ground-floor units
- Tips on screens and sliding door seals
If you live in a unit block, check with your building or building manager before booking, as some buildings ask to be told about any spraying on balconies. The crew will need someone to let them in, so pick a time you are home. Bring washing, cushions and pet bowls inside first, and keep people and pets off treated areas until they are dry. Balconies high up in a tower tend to see fewer mosquitoes, while ground and first-floor units near gardens or canals see many more.
Patio and balcony visits are usually quicker than a full yard treatment, and the price reflects that. For upfront pricing on patio and balcony treatment on the Gold Coast, call 07 3543 7765 and we will book a crew that works near you.
