Eastern NC Mosquito Control

The first step to keep mosquitoes out of yards is to inspect your property and eliminate sources of standing water. Mosquitoes breed in all kinds of water – from small containers such as tree holes and buckets to large bodies of water like ditches or marshes. Mosquito breeding water may be salty or fresh, polluted or clean, standing or even slow moving. All of these breeding places create a variety of mosquito problems.

The good news is that if you call the mosquito control professionals at B&T Pest Control, we can help solve the problem for you. Our mosquito control in Jacksonville, Wilmington, & the surrounding areas will kill mosquito populations so that you can enjoy your summer cookouts in peace.

Mosquito Risks

Mosquitoes are carriers of many diseases around the world. Malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever are some of the most common. In North Carolina, three viruses are carried by mosquitoes to people – Eastern equine, La Crosse and West Nile. In some cases, the illness caused by these viruses may be severe and result in encephalitis or death. Heartworm is also a common disease of dogs carried by mosquitoes.

How Our Mosquito Treatments Work

Our first step is to conduct a thorough inspection of your property. To get rid of mosquitoes around your home we have to identify the source. Mosquitoes usually breed in small pools of water and if these are not eliminated the mosquitoes will breed again in no time

Mosquito Bite Prevention Tips

There are some things you can do to help prevent mosquito bites:

• Wear light colored clothing, long sleeve shirts and long pants when possible.
• Avoid outdoor activity when mosquitoes are most active which is typically around dawn and dusk.
• Use one of the mosquito repellents recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). DEET (30 percent or less for adults and 10 percent or less for children should be sufficient) and picaridin are considered to be the most effective mosquito repellents. Oil of lemon eucalyptus also repels mosquitoes but is less effective than DEET. Follow the label directions when using any mosquito repellent product.
• Keep windows and doors screened.
• Eliminate mosquito breeding places around the home. Be sure to empty, destroy, recycle or cover containers like tires, tin cans, buckets and bottles where mosquitoes can lay their eggs. Change water in bird baths and pet bowls at least once a week. Remove or empty dishes under potted plants.
