Mosquitoes in North Carolina

If you live in North Carolina or anywhere in the U.S., you’ve probably encountered mosquitos before. Even if you don’t see them, mosquitoes leave evidence of their presence in the annoying, itchy bites they leave on humans all over the world. They’re undoubtedly one of the most despised pests. 

Beyond their irritating buzzing and bites, mosquitoes can carry diseases like West Nile Virus and Zika. Without the help of a professional pest control company, decreasing the mosquito population in your yard is nearly impossible. Instead of going at it alone, get the help of a professional pest control company like Clegg’s. We provide professional mosquito control in North Carolina so you can get back to enjoying backyard barbecues and evenings on your porch.

Identifying Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are so small it can be challenging to spot them with the naked eye. If you do see them flying through the air or landing on you, you’ll notice their small size, often smaller than 1/4 inch. They also have long, skinny legs paired with a slender body. Mosquitoes look drastically different from flies, gnats, and spiders, and you’re more likely to see mosquitoes in or near standing water or moist areas.

Signs of a Mosquito Infestation

Since mosquitoes are so small, it’s unlikely you’ll see a swarm. A more common sign of a mosquito infestation is an increased number of bites, particularly when you’re outside or in dark, moist areas. Mosquitoes are typically most active in the warmer months of the spring and summer.

Mosquito Prevention and Treatment

Mosquitoes are incredibly common and nearly impossible to completely prevent. To lower the likelihood of a large infestation, eliminate standing water and avoid moist environments. Consider lawn care and irrigation if you often have water pooling in your lawn. While DIY methods can often provide temporary or partial relief, getting rid of an infestation is nearly impossible without professional help.
