Mosquito Control Services in Charleston

Monthly Mosquito Barrier Treatments

Charleston homeowners love the Mosquito Barrier Treatment Program, which runs from March through November. A licensed technician fogges shrubs, shaded areas, and mosquito resting sites every 3-4 weeks, and treats standing water with larvicide. It kills mosquitoes on contact and repels new ones, enabling families to spend more time outdoors with fewer bites.

Special Event Mosquito Treatments

Having a wedding, graduation celebration, or backyard bash? Don't invite the mosquitoes. Palmetto offers one-time mosquito treatments that can be scheduled days—or even months—in advance, so your guests can party bite-free.

Neighborhood Mosquito Program

Palmetto also protects entire Charleston neighborhoods with large-scale mosquito control. Using backpack foggers and golf cart foggers, technicians can treat neighborhood areas like playgrounds, pools, parks, and trails. These programs include surveillance of mosquito populations and larviciding breeding sites like ditches, swamps, and retention ponds.

Mosquito Misting Systems

For extended protection, Palmetto installs Mosquito Misting Systems automatically around your yard. Like a sprinkler system, the systems emit a fine mist at the time of day when mosquitoes are most active—early morning and evening. Palmetto's technicians fully service the system, activating it in the spring, refilling tanks, servicing equipment, and winterizing it. Barrier treatments and larviciding are also part of the package at no additional charge.

Safe & Eco-Friendly Mosquito Treatments

Palmetto Exterminators employs Integrated Pest Management (IPM). That means they don't simply spray and leave—they target mosquitoes at every life stage, from larvae to adults, while minimizing exposure to humans, pets, and the environment. Treatments include:

• Larviciding breeding sites to prevent new swarms

• Barrier fogging trees, shrubs, and shady areas where mosquitoes congregate

• Eco-friendly, biodegradable products that do the trick without harming your lawn or local wildlife

Mosquito Control Charleston FAQ

How often should my yard be treated for mosquitoes in Charleston?
Most houses need monthly treatments during mosquito season (March-November). In mosquito-dense areas, biweekly treatments may be recommended.

Are mosquito treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes. Palmetto uses eco-friendly, biodegradable products and applies them carefully around your property. Once treatments dry, it's okay for your pets and family to enjoy your outdoor space.

Do I need winter mosquito control?
The mosquito season in Charleston typically ends in late autumn, but some mosquitoes overwinter in egg stage. Starting treatments early in spring prevents infestations from occurring in the first place.

In what way is Palmetto different from do-it-yourself mosquito sprays or traps?
Do-it-yourself methods don't normally address the source. Palmetto's program addresses mosquitoes at all life stages and includes larviciding, barrier applications, and preventative measures.
