Why Mosquitoes Thrive in the Lowcountry
Mount Pleasant and Charleston have nearly everything mosquitoes need:
- Warm, humid weather – A long warm season keeps mosquitoes active for much of the year.
- Marshes and tidal areas – Wet, low-lying land near the coast gives mosquitoes places to breed.
- Frequent rain – Summer storms leave standing water in yards, gutters and low spots.
- Shade and dense vegetation – Adult mosquitoes rest in shrubs, groundcover and shaded areas during the day.
Charleston County runs a public mosquito control program that treats mosquitoes across the county. Treating your own yard targets the mosquitoes breeding and resting on your property, where your family spends time outdoors.

How Our Mosquito Control Service Works
We start with a detailed inspection of your property to locate standing water, dense vegetation, and shaded areas where mosquitoes breed and rest. After identifying problem areas, we implement source reduction strategies by advising on ways to eliminate standing water, remove debris, and prevent mosquito-friendly conditions.
Our mosquito treatments include a residual barrier spray applied to vegetation and mosquito resting areas, which kills adult mosquitos on contact and repels new ones. Regular monitoring and follow-up ensure the treatment remains effective, with necessary adjustments made as needed.
Where Mosquitoes Breed Around Your Home
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and in warm weather they can develop from egg to adult in about 7 to 10 days. Check these common spots at least once a week:
- Clogged gutters and downspouts
- Birdbaths, fountains and pet water bowls
- Flowerpot saucers and planters
- Buckets, wheelbarrows, toys and tarps
- Boats, kayaks and covers that hold rainwater
- Low spots in the yard that stay wet after rain
Emptying, covering or draining these areas reduces mosquito breeding and helps treatments work better.
Monthly Treatments or a One-Time Service?
We recommend monthly treatments for the most effective mosquito prevention. Each treatment applies a residual barrier spray to vegetation and mosquito resting areas, and regular monitoring and follow-up keep the treatment effective.
We also offer one-time services. You will notice a significant reduction in mosquito activity within 24 to 48 hours after treatment, but monthly treatments provide long-term protection against mosquitoes. Read more about what works for mosquito treatment in Lowcountry yards.
Dangers of Mosquito-Borne Illnesses
Mosquitoes in South Carolina can carry and transmit serious diseases, including West Nile Virus, which can lead to severe neurological diseases such as encephalitis. Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) causes brain swelling and has a high fatality rate.
La Crosse Encephalitis is more common in children, leading to fever, headaches, and in rare cases, brain inflammation. While less common in the region, Dengue and Zika Virus can also be a concern, causing fever, rash, and joint pain. Zika is particularly dangerous for pregnant women.
