[bs_citem title=”How do we treat your home?” id=”citem_bbb0-55c4″ parent=”collapse_0bb1-d9f7″]
Charlotte Mosquito Exterminator uses an Integrated Pest Management system that requires our technicians to treat any standing water or other mosquito breeding grounds with larvacide to eliminate existing larvae and prevent any future offspring. Our technicians then create a mosquito prevention barrier around your yard using a barrier treatment. The barrier treatment eliminates adult mosquitoes already in your yard and continues to eliminate any new ones for 14 -21 days. A technician returns to your property every 14-23 days to reapply the barrier treatment.

[bs_citem title=”How does your product work?” id=”citem_3074-f12e” parent=”collapse_0bb1-d9f7″]
We apply a liquid application to all vegetation, grasses, trees, and bushes. We also apply to the underside of decks and other areas where mosquitoes hide. Anytime a mosquito comes in contact with a sprayed surface, our product reacts with the fatty acids of the mosquito and eliminates it. We also apply a larvacide to any standing water, such as bird baths and gutters, in your yard to prevent a breeding habitat for mosquitoes. The larvicide is safe for birds and could even be applied to a dog’s water bowl.
