Mosquito Control Options

Monthly Mosquito Barrier Treatments

Palmetto's most popular mosquito program runs from March through November. Every 3-4 weeks, a licensed specialist fogs shrubs, shaded areas, and other mosquito hiding spots while treating standing water with larvicide. This kills mosquitoes on contact and creates a protective barrier that repels new ones.

Special Event Mosquito Treatments

Hosting a wedding, graduation, or backyard party? Don't let mosquitoes crash the celebration. Palmetto provides one-time treatments that can be scheduled days—or even months—in advance, keeping guests bite-free.

Neighborhood Mosquito Program

Palmetto also serves the Charleston communities with broad-scale mosquito control. Palmetto's mosquito control specialists treat common areas like playgrounds, pools, and trails. The program includes larviciding breeding sites such as swamps, ditches, and retention ponds.

Mosquito Misting Systems

For year-round relief, Palmetto installs automatic mosquito misting systems around your yard. Much like a sprinkler system, the misting system releases a fine spray during peak mosquito activity—early morning and evening. Palmetto handles everything: setup, refills, maintenance, and winterization.

Commonly Asked Questions About Mosquitoes

How long does a single treatment last?

Mosquito Barrier Treatments are designed to protect for about 3 to 4 weeks. Factors like heavy rain or extreme heat can affect this, which is why we schedule visits every month from March through November to ensure your protection never gaps.

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.

Will the spray kill "good" bugs like honeybees and butterflies?

We care about our local pollinators! Our technicians are trained to avoid spraying flowering plants where bees and butterflies spend their time. We focus our treatments on shaded areas, shrubs, and tall grass where mosquitoes specifically go to rest and hide from the sun.

How is Palmetto different from do-it-yourself mosquito sprays or traps?

Do-it-yourself methods don't normally address the source. Palmetto Exterminators addresses mosquitoes at all life stages, including larviciding, barrier applications, and preventative measures.

Just a short note to let you know how pleased we are with the customer service we received from our technician, Jason C. Jason has been our Palmetto Exterminator technician for about two years now. He is always on time and always conducts himself in a very courteous and professional manner. We feel very fortunate to have Jason as our technician, and feel that excellent customer service should be recognized. Thank you for having employees of the caliber of Jason in your employ.

- Carola - Mount Pleasant, SC

Customer for 10 + years. Just wanted to let Jason's supervisor know what a wonderful job he does at my home. I had Bradley for years and didn't think he could be surpassed. I was wrong! Haven''t seen a live roach since Jason has taken over Bradley''s service area. Jason's thorough and the results are proof of a job consistently well done.

- Maggie - Mount Pleasant, SC

Had our home serviced again by David C. David has an excellent attitude and does an outstanding job. Keep up the good work!

- Steve - Mount Pleasant, SC

David was out today and I wanted to let you know he did an excellent job. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Took care of wasp problem, interior spraying and yard service.

- Ron and Suzan - Mount Pleasant, SC

We were really blown away by Palmetto Exterminators first visit to our home this week. We recently switched from one of the big nationally known companies after experiencing poor, ineffective service. We didn't realize just how slack our last exterminator was until Palmetto Exterminators came out. Informative, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I feel the pricing is reasonable as well!

- Sarah - Charleston, SC

I just had some work done at my home by a local craftsman. As I was thinking about his work and work ethic, I begin to think about your technician David Cole. David has been performing our service for a number of years and is one of the most professional service technicians I have ever encountered. He is always on-time, efficient, neat, pleasant in every interaction I have ever had with him, and probably the only service technician I have ever worked with that I would be comfortable simply handing him the key to my home and leaving everything in his capable hands. I believe Palmetto has a superb employee In David and I simply wanted to let you know what a great job he does in representing your company. I'm glad he is the one assigned to our home. Thank you!

- David - Mount Pleasant, SC
