Eastern North Carolina is home to a variety of mosquito species, each with its own unique characteristics and habits. One of the most common species found in the region is the Eastern Treehole Mosquito (Aedes triseriatus).

Preparing Your Yard for Mosquito Treatment
To maximize the effectiveness of our mosquito yard treatments, we ask our customers to prepare their outdoor areas with the following steps:
1. Remove Pets and Their Items
For the safety of your furry friends, please remove pets from the treatment area for a couple of hours. Don’t forget to pick up pet bowls, toys, and bedding.
2. Pick Up Children’s Toys
Ensure children’s toys, including small pools and playsets, are either covered or moved indoors. This precaution prevents them from coming into contact with the treatment until it has dried.
3. Trim Vegetation and Cut Grass
Mosquitoes love to hide in tall grass and dense vegetation. Trimming and cutting your lawn before treatment can enhance the effectiveness of our services by exposing hidden mosquitoes to the treatment.
4. Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes breed in standing water. Before our visit, please empty out plant saucers, bird baths, and any containers holding water to reduce mosquito breeding grounds.
5. Cover Edible Plants
If you have a vegetable garden or edible plants, cover them with a cloth or plastic sheet to prevent contact with the treatment chemicals.
6. Inform Us of Specific Concerns
If you have sensitive plants, ponds with fish, or specific areas you’re concerned about, please let us know in advance. We’ll tailor our approach to accommodate your needs.
Our Mosquito Yard Treatment Process
Our comprehensive treatment process includes:
- Inspection: We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify mosquito breeding sites and harborage areas.
- Larvicide Application: To prevent future populations, we target water bodies with larvicides that disrupt the mosquito life cycle.
- Adulticide Treatment: Using specialized equipment, we apply eco-friendly adulticides to foliage and other mosquito resting sites, effectively reducing the adult mosquito population.
- Follow-Up and Maintenance: Our monthly service ensures continuous protection throughout the mosquito season, adapting strategies as needed for optimal effectiveness.
Why Monthly Treatments?
Mosquito populations can rebound quickly due to their breeding cycle. Regular, monthly treatments disrupt this cycle, significantly reducing your property’s mosquito population and keeping it manageable throughout the season.
