Mosquito Control Services: Our Step-by-Step Process

Identifying Mosquito Habitats

One of our pest experts will arrive at your home and go over any mosquito-related concerns you may have. At this time, let your tech know if there are any areas that require extra attention where you believe mosquitoes may be breeding. From that point, we will identify any potential breeding places around your home and notify you of what needs to be drained of water. If it can’t be drained, we have treatments that are completely safe to all non-target organisms, such as bees and butterflies. It can even be used in bird baths or ponds with aquatic life.

Eliminate Existing Mosquitoes

Once the habitats have been identified, the next step is to eliminate the adult mosquitoes in order to stop the breeding cycle. Approximately every 28 days, a residual pesticide will be sprayed onto any vegetation they may be attracted to and areas of standing water. This guarantees that all mosquitoes that land in your yard will come into contact with the pesticide at some point.

We never spray children’s toys, pet supplies, concrete slabs, bird baths, or fountains.

The warm, humid climate of the Carolinas makes your yard the perfect environment for mosquitoes to breed almost all year long. Because of this, long-term mosquito control treatment is essential.

Why You Need Mosquito Control in the Carolinas

Throughout the Carolinas, Charlotte tends to rank as one of the worst cities for mosquitoes. Around here, Carolina mosquito control is a need — not a want!

Three mosquito species are common in our area: Northern House mosquitoes, Asian Tiger mosquitoes, and Eastern Saltmarsh mosquitoes. Each has similar feeding and breeding behaviors, and are mainly found at night.

Mosquito-borne illnesses to be aware of include dengue, chikungunya, La Crosse encephalitis, and Zika virus. Ranging from mild illnesses to life-threatening diseases, it’s possible to contract any one of these here in the Carolinas. Even our pets are at risk since mosquitoes can cause heartworms in dogs and cats!

Mosquito treatment is valuable for many reasons. Imagine no longer having to stock up on mosquito spray, candles, and obnoxiously-scented products (which can be toxic to children and pets). Plus, our technicians know what to use, when, and how much in order to protect any beneficial pests from being mistakenly targeted. We do everything for you in terms of Carolina mosquito control – all you have to do is enjoy your outdoor space!

Standing Water

Mosquitoes and water go hand-in-hand. These pests require just a small amount of water to breed and lay their eggs in. All they need is a pond, bird bath, flower pot, or standing water on your lawn, to reproduce

Warm Temps

As cold-blooded pests, mosquitoes can only survive in warm environments. Which is why you tend to find them in places like North and South Carolina (and why Carolina mosquito control is crucial)!

Yard Debris

Debris around your property, such as leaf piles, grass clippings, compost piles, or stacked wood are all potential homes for mosquitoes. These tiny pests can’t fly very well in windy conditions, so they seek places to hide out when they’re in need of shelter.

Vegetation

The midday sun is often too intense for mosquitoes so they tend to hide in your vegetation for shade. You can find them underneath leaves, tall grasses, trees, and shrubs. The more landscaping you have, the more likely they are there in hiding!

Clogged Gutters

Mosquitoes love to live in clogged drains and gutters because it provides both shelter and water for them to breed in. Because most homeowners don’t keep up with cleaning out their drains and gutters, mosquitoes are left to do what they please.

People & Animals

There’s no getting around it, the number one thing mosquitoes are attracted to is you and your pets! CO2 and the chemicals naturally released from our bodies draws mosquitoes in like moths to a flame. If you have pets or livestock, expect mosquitoes to come in larger numbers. The more bodies = the more mosquitoes.
