[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.

[bs_citem title=”What happens if it rains after a treatment?” id=”citem_c18a-974d” parent=”collapse_0bb1-d9f7″]
If your property has been treated and had a 1/2 hour dry time you should be fine.  We have even treated properties when it has been misting out this helps spread out the treatment.  Heavy rain is only a problem when you have water that has pooled for 5 days providing an area for mosquitos to breed.

[bs_citem title=”What attracts mosquitoes to me?” id=”citem_bb18-5895″ parent=”collapse_0bb1-d9f7″]

“Carbon dioxide is the most universally recognized mosquito attractant and draws mosquitoes from up to 35 meters. When female mosquitoes sense carbon dioxide they usually adopt a zigzagging flight path within the plume to locate its source. Once in the general vicinity of a potential host, other cues predominate, including body odors (sweat, lactic acid, etc.) and heat. Conversely, eating bananas did not attract mosquitoes as the myth suggests, but wearing perfumes does. People drinking beer have been shown to be more attractive to mosquitoes. Limburger cheese has also been found to be attractive” The information on this website has been gathered from numerous sources including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), www.cdc.gov, the National Institute of Health (NIH), www.nih.gov, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), www.epa.gov and the American Mosquito Control Association, www.mosquito.org.
