WE CAN HELP

There are almost 100 species of Mosquitoes in Australia and many of them can be serious pests, interfering with leisure time and outdoor activities. Mosquito bites cause discomfort and pain, particularly to babies and others with sensitive skin.

Mosquitoes breed in STANDING WATER- such as may occur in old car tires and other water holding containers, pot plant drip trays, septic and water tanks, roof gutters, domestic ponds, etc. By eliminating these breeding sites incorporated with pest management spraying you can help to permanently reduce mosquito numbers in your back yard.

Watson’s Pest & Weed Control can apply a residual spray to outside areas to reduce nuisance mosquitoes. This in conduction with prevention of back yard breeding should rid you off your mosquito problems this summer.

Worldwide, mosquito-borne viruses and parasites are major causes of human and animal sickness and death. In Queensland mosquito-borne diseases of concern are: -

Ross River Virus - Infected people may develop a disease called Epidemic Polarthritis, commonly known as Ross River Virus infection. Symptoms may continue for several months or even years in unlucky individuals.

Dog & Cat Heartworm - Mosquitos are the cause of Feline & Canine Heartworn disease. It is VERY importain to look after your Dogs & Cats as they can die from this disease, so please see your Vet to find out the best treatment for your pets

For comfort and piece of mind this summer, Watsons Pest & Weed Control can apply a low toxic residual around the outside of your property. This will help keep the Mosquito numbers down.
