Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance in North Carolina — they can carry diseases like West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. If you live in Sanford, Pinehurst, Southern Pines, or anywhere in central NC, mosquito season runs from April through October. Here's how to take back your outdoor spaces.
Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, and they don't need much — a bottle cap of water is enough. Walk your property and eliminate these common breeding sites:
- Clogged gutters and downspouts
- Bird baths (change water weekly)
- Plant saucers and pot trays
- Tarps, covers, and pool covers that collect water
- Old tires, buckets, and containers
- Low spots in the yard that hold water after rain
Maintain Your Landscape
Mosquitoes rest in dense vegetation during the day. Keeping your landscape maintained reduces resting habitat:
- Trim overgrown shrubs and hedges
- Mow regularly to keep grass short
- Remove leaf litter and debris from beds
- Thin dense plantings for better air circulation
Professional Barrier Treatments
The most effective mosquito control combines property maintenance with professional barrier spray treatments. Our mosquito control program applies a targeted treatment to vegetation and resting areas around your property every 21 days during mosquito season.
**How it works:**
- We spray the undersides of leaves, shrub interiors, and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest
- The treatment creates a barrier that kills mosquitoes on contact
- Reapplication every 21 days maintains continuous protection
- Reduces mosquito populations by up to 90%
Special Event Treatments
Hosting an outdoor wedding, graduation party, or family gathering? We offer one-time event treatments applied 24-48 hours before your event for maximum protection.
