Mosquitoes on the Terrace and in the Garden in Warsaw — How to Reduce Their Numbers for the Season

Why are mosquitoes a problem on the terrace and in the garden?

Standing water is the main mosquito breeding site — sometimes just a few millilitres are enough for far more of them to appear near your home.

Cause itchy bites

Skin reactions can be especially troublesome for children and sensitive people.

Can spread diseases

In rare cases, they're a vector for viruses dangerous to health.

Multiply extremely fast

Even a small amount of standing water is enough to lay hundreds of eggs.

Most active in the evening

They make it hard to enjoy the terrace and garden on warm evenings.

How to identify mosquito sources in the garden

Check these spots first:

  • Standing water in plant pots, gutters and garden containers
  • Neglected garden ponds and pools
  • Gaps in window and terrace door screens
  • Dense, damp vegetation near relaxation areas
  • Increased mosquito activity at dusk, especially after rainfall

How we deal with mosquitoes — methods that work

We match the method to the size and character of the property:

Barrier sprays

Reduce the number of adult mosquitoes on the property.

Identifying breeding sites

We locate standing water sources that favour larval development.

Larvicides

Eliminate mosquito larvae before they become adult insects.

Seasonal treatments

Repeated in key months, they increase long-term effectiveness.

Guarantee on the treatment

  • Spray or ULV fogging — guarantee up to 3 months after the first treatment

Did you know...?

How fast do mosquitoes develop?

0–10 days

is enough for an egg laid in standing water to turn into an adult, flying mosquito.

How to prepare the garden before the season?

For the treatment to be fully effective, prepare the property following our tips:

Remove unnecessary water containers

Eliminate potential breeding sites before the season starts.

Check that screens are properly fitted

Repair or install screens on windows and doors.

Keep water moving in garden ponds

Standing water favours larval development, flowing water doesn't.
