Professional Pest Control For Marietta, SC Properties

The Best Way To Deter Mosquitoes From Your Marietta Property

Mosquitoes are synonymous with summer in Marietta. These insects are most active in warm weather, biting around dawn and dusk. Most species produce annoying bites without being a health threat, but some can spread illnesses when they bite. The tiny sizes of these pests make the species hard to identify, and their flying abilities make them nearly impossible to remove from your property. 

These pests use tall grass or brush to avoid direct sunlight and require standing water to breed. They'll invade properties that provide these attractants, so removing these items can deter them from biting you. Tips to prevent mosquitoes from invading your Marietta property include:

• Remove standing water from buckets, toys, tires, and rain gutters.
• Replace the water in your water features.
• Treat and circulate swimming pool water.
• Cut your grass short and remove excess vegetation.

When mosquitoes decide to invade your property, you'll need professional mosquito treatment to remove them. Our technicians at Greenville Pest Control will use backpack misters to treat hiding places and eliminate eggs and larvae in standing water. We'll also recommend ways to keep these pests away.

Most mosquitoes are harmless, but some species can spread illnesses when they bite. Contact us to keep these potentially dangerous pests away from your Marietta yard.
