Mosquitoes breed in still water around Sunshine Coast yards, from pot plant saucers and blocked gutters to ponds and unused pool areas, and numbers tend to climb during warmer, wetter stretches of the year. Outdoor entertaining areas are often where they cause the most complaints. Yards backing onto canals, wetlands or bushland tend to see more activity than blocks further from water, though still water anywhere in the yard can be a source.
A crew will check the yard for standing water and shaded, sheltered spots where mosquitoes rest during the day, then apply a treatment to garden beds, under decks and along fence lines to cut down on resting adults. Pointing out and clearing sources of standing water is usually part of the visit as well. Long grass, dense garden beds and stacked pot plants are checked closely, since these spots give mosquitoes shelter from the sun during the hottest part of the day.

Treatment reduces numbers for a period rather than removing mosquitoes for good, since they can fly in from neighbouring properties and nearby waterways. A visit timed a week or two ahead of an outdoor gathering in Sunshine Coast tends to work well.
