Mosquito fogging fills the garden with a fine mist that settles on the plants and knocks down the adult mosquitoes it reaches. It works quickly, which is why people in Petrie often book it the day before a barbecue, a birthday or a weekend with visitors. It is a short-term option. Fogging does not treat breeding water, and new mosquitoes can move in within days, so it works well on its own for an event and even better alongside a barrier spray.
The crew we book walks the yard first to see where mosquitoes gather and whether there is still water lying around. Then they fog the shady parts of the garden, working through the thickest plants and along fences. A fogging visit usually covers:
- A short look around the yard before starting
- Fogging of garden beds, hedges and palms
- Treating under decks, stairs and outdoor furniture
- Pointing out containers that are holding water
- Advice on the timing before your event
Fogging needs calm, dry weather, since wind blows the mist away and rain washes it off the leaves. Everyone, including pets, should be inside with windows and doors shut while the crew works, and should stay off the treated area until the mist has settled and the plants are dry. Cover or bring in food, drink bottles and outdoor cushions beforehand.
If you want fewer mosquitoes for weeks rather than days, ask about pairing fogging with a barrier spray and a check for breeding water. Call 07 3543 7764 to book fogging in Petrie with upfront pricing, and tell us the date of your event so we can plan the visit.
