Tom’s Pest Control Adelaide stops mosquito outbreaks at industrial site, improving staff comfort and safety with targeted pest control and seasonal planning.
Mosquito Bites Create Health and Productivity Concerns
The company, which operates across a spacious outdoor facility, contacted Tom’s Pest Control after staff began reporting frequent mosquito bites, particularly around water runoff zones and equipment storage areas. With activity peaking in warmer months, concerns about staff wellbeing, absences, and mosquito-borne diseases were growing.
“Mosquito infestations on industrial sites are often underestimated until they start affecting operations and worker morale,” said Stefan Barker, spokesperson for Tom’s Pest Control. “We took a strategic, site-wide approach to eliminate breeding grounds while safeguarding staff.”
This case reflects the increasing demand for industrial pest management strategies that go beyond the basics and address health, safety, and productivity at scale.
A Three-Step Mosquito Control Strategy for Outdoor Work Environments
Tom’s Pest Control Adelaide began with a full assessment of the property, identifying mosquito breeding zones, blocked drainage, and water retention points that were contributing to the issue.
The tailored strategy included:
1. Breeding Site Elimination
Standing water sources were treated with larvicides, unsealed containers removed, and blocked drains cleared. Drainage around storage zones was improved to prevent further water accumulation.
2. Targeted Mosquito Control Treatments
The team conducted fogging sessions during off-peak hours, reducing adult mosquito populations. Where water could not be removed, environmentally safe larvicides were used in compliance with all regulatory standards.
3. Staff Protection Initiatives
Repellent stations were installed in outdoor rest areas, insect repellents were distributed to employees, and shift times were adjusted to minimise exposure during peak mosquito hours.
Outcome: Safer, Healthier, More Productive Site
Within one month, mosquito activity decreased significantly. Staff reported fewer bites and improved comfort, and absenteeism linked to discomfort or illness dropped. The site avoided any workplace health incidents related to mosquito-borne viruses.
“We were able to act quickly without disrupting operations, while also helping the client meet workplace health and safety obligations,” Stefan Barker added.
Ongoing Support for Seasonal Pest Control
Tom’s Pest Control Adelaide now performs quarterly inspections and seasonal plan adjustments to ensure ongoing control of mosquito activity across the property. This proactive approach forms part of a comprehensive pest control Adelaide strategy for industrial sites dealing with high-risk pest environments.
