Midges

Midges are becoming more than just a nuisance in many parts of Australia. Their bites can cause severe and persistent itching, often leading to open sores as people scratch for relief. In rare cases, these sores can become infected, posing a health risk and potentially leading to costly medical treatment. Fortunately, midges do not transmit diseases to humans in Australia.

While insect repellents and mosquito coils may offer temporary relief, it’s best to consult your family doctor about safe and effective options for your household. For long-lasting and effective control, you’ll need a licensed pest control expert—like Brisbane Pest Management.

Our trained professionals will identify and target midge breeding and resting areas, applying a residual pesticide that’s only available to licensed contractors. Using a barrier and harbourage treatment method, we apply the pesticide to key outdoor surfaces, including house walls, screens, fences, shrubs, and other foliage around your property.

While this treatment may not completely eliminate midges, it can significantly reduce their numbers for up to six weeks, creating a more comfortable and bite-free outdoor environment for your family.
