Cairns Mosquito Control
Mosquitoes and biting midges are prolific throughout tropical and sub-tropical areas where conditions are perfect for their existence. Our outdoor lifestyle of Cairns often brings us in contact with them causing annoying itchy bites that can really limit outdoor activities.
Mosquitoes can also carry diseases and parasites that can affect you and your pets, including Ross River Virus, Dengue Fever, Barmah Forest Virus, Zika, Malaria, and Heartworm in dogs.

Extra Measures To Reduce Mosquito Populations
The first step to reducing the problem is looking in your own back yard.
- Empty any containers that hold water including plastic buckets, pot plant saucers, toys, tyres and tarps.
- Regularly change your pets drinking bowl and bird baths.
- Boats and dinghies should be overturned or have the drain plug removed.
- Clean out gutters.
- Keep swimming pools treated and circulating.
- Screen water tank, with wire gauze no coarser than 1mm mesh. This prevents mosquitoes from laying eggs.
- Fill tree hollows with sand.
