Fogging is the quick option when you want fewer mosquitoes in the yard for one particular evening. The crew we book uses a fogging machine to send a very fine mist through the garden. It drifts into hedges, under decks and along fences, and knocks down the adult mosquitoes it comes into contact with. In Cleveland, people often book it before a birthday, a Christmas get-together or friends coming over for a barbecue by the water.
Because fogging treats the air rather than surfaces, it does not stick around. It clears the yard for an evening, sometimes a day or two, before new mosquitoes drift in from the neighbours, parks and the foreshore. That is why many people pair it with a yard spray a few days earlier. A fogging visit usually includes:
- A short walk to plan the route and check the breeze
- Fogging through garden beds, hedges and under decks
- Extra passes where guests will sit or stand
- Advice on timing food, drinks and table setup
Before the crew arrives, bring pets inside, shut doors and windows, and cover or move outdoor food, fish ponds and vegetable patches. Everyone should stay indoors while the fog is applied and until it settles, and the crew will tell you how long that is on the day. Still evenings are the right time for fogging, since a breeze carries the mist away before it reaches the mosquitoes sheltering in the garden.
If the date is set, book a week or two ahead so we can fit you onto a nearby crew's run. Call 07 3543 7773 to book mosquito fogging in Cleveland and get upfront pricing for your yard.
