During the heat of the day, adult mosquitoes stop flying and look for shade. They settle under leaves, deep inside hedges, along fences, behind water tanks and under decks and houses. A mosquito yard spray treats those resting places, so when mosquitoes land there they pick up the product. In most Cleveland yards, that is where the biggest drop in numbers comes from.
The crew we book first works out where the mosquitoes are resting, then applies the spray with a backpack mister or a hand wand. They pay most attention to the strip of garden closest to the house and the outdoor areas you use most. The spray usually goes onto:
- Hedges, shrubs and thick garden beds
- Fences, lattice and plants growing on trellis
- The underside of decks, stairs and high-set homes
- Shady walls, eaves and the sides of sheds
- Areas around tanks, bins and outdoor seating
How long a yard spray keeps working depends on the weather and the garden. Several weeks is common, but heavy rain, strong sun and quick new growth wear it down sooner. After the visit, keep kids and pets off treated plants until they are dry, and skip watering those beds with the hose for a day. Point out vegetable patches, herbs and fruit trees to the crew so they can be left out of the spray.
Canal and waterfront homes often book a yard spray in late spring and again after the big summer storms, when fresh mosquitoes arrive from the bay. To book a mosquito yard spray in Cleveland, call 07 3543 7773 for upfront pricing and a time that works for you.
