Recognising the signs of a mosquito infestation early can help stop a minor issue from turning into a major problem. Common indicators of a mosquito infestation include:
Seeing mosquitoes frequently in and around your home, especially near water sources like ponds, birdbaths, or gutters.
Finding mosquito larvae (wrigglers) in standing water. These are small, worm-like creatures that are the juvenile form of mosquitoes.
Experiencing more mosquito bites, particularly at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
Hearing the distinctive high-pitched buzz of mosquitoes around your ears, especially at night.
Rentokil employs a variety of effective methods to control mosquito populations and prevent future infestations:
Our trained technicians conduct thorough inspections of your property to pinpoint breeding sites and assess the level of infestation. This step is crucial for formulating an effective treatment plan. Mosquito Larvicide Treatment (Granules): We use larvicides to target mosquito larvae in standing water. This treatment prevents mosquitoes from maturing into biting adults, addressing the problem at its source.
For immediate relief from adult mosquitoes, we use adulticides. These treatments reduce the adult mosquito population and provide quick results.
Our experts perform testing to determine the severity of the mosquito infestation. This aids in customising the treatment to the specific needs of your property.
This involves using rapid-acting insecticides to quickly reduce the number of mosquitoes. It is especially useful for severe infestations.
Rentokil's ongoing mosquito management program includes regular monitoring, treatments, and advice on proactive measures to help manage mosquito activity long-term.
Achieving long-term mosquito control involves a combination of professional treatments and proactive measures. Rentokil offers solutions such as:
Habitat Modification: Reducing mosquito breeding sites by reducing standing water and maintaining proper drainage.
Barrier Treatments: Applying residual insecticides to outdoor areas to create a barrier that repels mosquitoes.
Education and Advice: Providing tips and guidance on how to reduce mosquito attractants and protect your family from bites.

A mosquito infestation can range from a few annoying bites to a significant health hazard. Severe infestations can lead to numerous bites, constant buzzing, and the potential transmission of diseases such as Ross River virus and Barmah Forest virus. Early detection and professional control are crucial to manage and reduce the severity of an infestation.
Mosquitoes are most prevalent in Australia during the warmer months, usually from late spring to early autumn. The peak season for mosquito activity usually occurs between November and April, when temperatures and humidity levels are higher, providing ideal breeding conditions.
Mosquitoes are most active and likely to bite during dawn and dusk. However, some species are also active at night. It is essential to take precautions during these times to avoid bites, such as using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing.
Mosquitoes are attracted to individuals based on several factors, including body heat, carbon dioxide exhalation, sweat, and certain body odours. Some people naturally produce more of these attractants, making them more appealing to mosquitoes. Wearing light-coloured clothing and using insect repellent can help reduce mosquito attraction.
Mosquitoes breed in standing water, such as ponds, puddles, birdbaths, and containers that collect rainwater. In Australia, breeding is most common during the warmer months when temperatures and humidity levels are higher. Removing standing water around your property can help decrease mosquito breeding sites and prevent infestations.
