    East Charlotte Mosquito Control: What You Need to Know

    How does Charlottes’s weather affect mosquito control treatments?
    Charlottes’s warm, humid climate and frequent storms create ideal conditions for mosquitoes. Our treatments are formulated to withstand these weather patterns, providing lasting protection even after heavy rain.
    Why are mosquitoes more of a problem in Charlotte?
    Charlotte has several marshy areas, along with creeks and other bodies of water that can attract mosquitoes. Charlotte also features a lot of greenery, which harbors mosquitoes. A few cases of West Nile virus, dengue fever, and malaria have been reported in the Charlotte area.
    Does the treatment work on all mosquito species found in Charlotte?
    Yes, our mosquito control solutions are designed to be effective across various species common in Charlotte, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
    How soon can I see a reduction in mosquitoes after the treatment?
    In Charlotte’s active mosquito season, you can typically see a noticeable decrease in mosquito activity within 24-48 hours of the first application. The peak results typically occur 2-3 days after the first application.
    What should I do if it rains shortly after a treatment?
    Charlottes’s frequent rain won’t significantly impact the effectiveness of our mosquito control. Our formula includes weather-resistant properties, allowing it to remain effective even after rainfall.
    What about my children and pets?
    Pets and children should be inside during each application. However, they can re-enter the property once the product has dried, roughly 10-15 minutes. At that point, there are no restrictions until the next application.
    Does this service also kill the bees within the perimeter?
    Our insecticide will impact bees on your property, but we are conscious to spray at times when bees are less active and use online resources to find local apiarists.
    Will this service kill ALL the mosquitoes?
    There are a lot of factors that determine the mosquito pressure in your area, and most importantly around your home. Our spraying will kill most of the mosquitos currently on your property, but the product we spray also helps kill mosquitos that come to the greenery on your property during the next 14-17 days before we return.
    What is the best time of year to start receiving mosquito control?
    Mosquitoes need a temperature above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so early April is typically the best time to start. However, it's important to keep in mind that mosquito eggs can last throughout the colder months and hatch once it warms up.
    Why do I see more mosquitoes after rainstorms?
    Rainstorms in Tampa often create standing water, which provides an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Our treatments target these areas to reduce mosquito populations effectively.
