Mosquito Control for Family Safety

Warm weather brings outdoor fun, and mosquitoes. At LCM Green we prioritise safe, effective mosquito control that protects your family, pets and property while minimising environmental impact. Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance; they can transmit illnesses and disrupt sleep, so smart prevention and targeted treatments make a real difference to household wellbeing.

Why mosquito control matters

  • Health risk: Mosquitoes can carry diseases and increase infection risk for babies, older adults and those with weakened immune systems.
  • Comfort and sleep: Reducing mosquito presence improves sleep quality and allows the family to enjoy outdoor areas.
  • Property protection: Targeted control decreases the need for repeated chemical use and prevents breeding on-site.

Practical, eco-conscious steps we recommend

  • Remove standing water: Empty, cover or treat plant pots, buckets, kiddie pools, gutters and birdbaths weekly.
  • Maintain pools and irrigation: Keep pools chlorinated and ensure irrigation doesn’t create puddles.
  • Garden hygiene: Trim long grass, clear dense debris and keep vegetation away from patios and doorways.
  • Night-time protection: Use screened windows/doors and consider fans on patios (mosquitoes struggle in moving air).
  • Safe products: We favour targeted, low-impact treatments and larvicides applied where breeding is confirmed rather than broad blanket spraying.

What LCM Green offers

  • Professional inspections to identify breeding sites and risk areas.
  • Tailored treatment plans using eco-friendly larvicides and targeted adult control where necessary.
  • Ongoing monitoring and seasonal maintenance packages to keep mosquito pressure low.
  • Practical advice for households, schools and businesses to reduce breeding and exposure.

Local note In South Africa, mosquito activity rises after rains and in warmer months. Early action at the start of the season prevents problems later.
