A mosquito barrier spray targets the adult mosquitoes already living in your yard. During the heat of the day they sit in cool, shady places, and the crew we book sprays those places with a residual product. When mosquitoes land on treated leaves and surfaces later, they come into contact with it. For most homes in Petrie, this is the part of a treatment that makes the biggest difference to evenings outside, whether you have a big leafy block or a small courtyard.
The spray goes where mosquitoes actually rest, not across open lawn in full sun. The crew usually treats:
- Dense shrubs, hedges and the underside of leaves
- Palms, bromeliads and thick garden beds near the house
- Fences, lattice and screens along shady boundaries
- Under decks, stairs and raised floors
- Around water tanks, sheds and side paths
On the day, bring in cushions, washing and pet bowls, and close the windows on the sides of the house being sprayed. Keep people and pets away from treated plants until they are dry, which usually takes an hour or two in warm weather. If you have a vegetable patch, fruit trees, a beehive or a fish pond, tell us when you book so the crew can work around them.
A barrier spray keeps working for a number of weeks, although heavy rain, sprinklers and a flush of new leaves all shorten that time. Gardens around Petrie grow quickly through the wet months, so many people book a second spray in January or February to get through the rest of the season.
