Ponds and drains are two of the main reasons a yard in Petrie keeps producing mosquitoes long after the last storm. Water that sits still for a week or more is enough for larvae to grow, and grated pits, sumps and courtyard drains often hold a little water all summer. Pond and drain treatment deals with these spots directly, so fewer new mosquitoes hatch close to your house.
The crew we book starts by checking each water point in the yard and working out whether it can be emptied, cleared or needs treating. The visit usually covers:
- Stormwater pits, sumps and grated courtyard drains
- Ornamental ponds and water features
- Blocked gutters, box gutters and downpipe bends
- Low spots near the house where water pools after rain
- Pipes and pits under decks and around sheds
For ponds, the crew needs to hear about fish, frogs and water plants before they start, so mention them when you book. Some ponds suit a larvicide, while others are better handled with a pump, a small fountain or a few more fish, and the crew can talk you through the options. For drains, clearing leaves and silt often matters as much as the treatment itself, and the crew will point out any pit that needs a proper clean.
Treated water can need another round after a big downpour washes through or after a long wet spell. Many people pair pond and drain treatment with a barrier spray so both the next wave and the current adults are covered.
