The pool is where many families on the Gold Coast spend their summer evenings, and it is often where mosquitoes are most annoying. A well-kept pool with a working pump does not usually breed mosquitoes, but the area around it often does. Pool covers, cleaning buckets, blocked skimmer lids, pot plants around the fence and leafy tropical gardens all give mosquitoes water to breed in or shade to rest.
The crew we book looks at the whole pool area before spraying anything. They check covers and equipment for pooled water and look for green or neglected pools nearby, which can breed large numbers. Then they treat the plants and surfaces around the pool. A visit usually covers:
- Checking pool covers, buckets and equipment for still water
- Spraying garden beds and palms around the pool fence
- Treating shaded seating areas and cabanas
- Treating drains and sumps near the pool for larvae
- Advice on keeping the area dry between swims
The crew will not spray into the pool water. Before the visit, pull toys, towels and floats out of the area and put the pool cover away if it holds water. Keep everyone out of the pool area until sprayed plants and surfaces are dry, and the crew will tell you how long that is likely to be on the day. If a neighbour has a green pool, that can keep numbers high, and the crew can point out what they see. Many people book a pool area treatment at the start of the swimming season in spring.
