These quick tips, plus Home Pest Control’s mosquito treatment services will help keep your home free of mosquitoes year-round:

Standing Water: Mosquitoes are born in the smallest areas of standing water. If you have cups, bowls, coolers or other containers around the outside of your home, sitting open, allowing rain to settle in them – dump them out quickly. Birdbath water should be replaced frequently to avoid mosquitoes laying eggs in standing water. Clogged Gutters: Not only can clogged gutters lead to possible termite damage, they are a breeding environment for mosquitoes too. Standing water fills up the gutter, and because you probably aren’t on your roof daily, you don’t know that that mosquitoes are laying eggs in your gutters. Keeping them clean is one more way to help prevent them in the first place. Weeds: Columbia and Charleston can get hot, no, really hot. So even mosquitoes escape the heat by hiding in the shade of weeds around your home. That’s just one more reason to get rid of those weeds.

If you feel that you may have mosquitoes or have seen them outside (or inside) we’ll come and assess where the mosquitoes are, and help you decide the best course of action to get rid of
