Why Mosquito Control Is Important in Cornelius
While mosquitoes are seasonal, mosquito season in Cornelius has become much longer than it used to be. From early spring through late fall, Cornelius has the perfect weather for mosquitoes, allowing them to thrive and reproduce.
Mosquitoes are most active during periods of high heat and humidity, resulting in rapid breeding. Mosquitoes are able to lay over 100 eggs at a time, leading to infestations that quickly climb in severity during Cornelius summers.
Mosquito bites can be itchy and can result in hives and blisters. Aside from their annoying bites, mosquitoes can also transmit serious illnesses. These can include West Nile Virus, the Zika virus, encephalitis, and chikungunya.
Around 60 species of mosquitoes can be found in North Carolina, including Asian Tiger Mosquitoes and Northern House Mosquitoes. Additionally, after Hurricane Florence, large gallinipper mosquitoes started appearing in North Carolina in greater numbers. These are up to three times larger than normal mosquitoes.
To take care of mosquitoes before they become an overwhelming problem, call in the experts at Noosa Pest Management. Our technicians know what it takes to effectively address your infestation.
How Our Mosquito Control Process Works
- Noosa’s mosquito treatment process starts with a thorough inspection of the premises. Our mosquito pest control expert will look for all spots where standing water has gathered, along with any other areas that show signs of mosquito infestation.
- After this, our expert will create an effective treatment plan based on their findings and your needs as a homeowner. This plan will be designed to minimize impact on the ecosystem and ensure the safety of any children and pets.
- Once they have discussed this plan with you, they will put it into action. They will apply a pest control product to numerous areas of your yard, including trees, ornamental grasses, shrubs, mulched beds, under decks, and on your home’s exterior walls.
- Our pest control products affect both mosquito larvae and adult mosquitoes. Some products kill them instantly, while others affect their lifecycle, preventing larvae from becoming adult mosquitoes.
- During mosquito lawn treatment in Cornelius, it’s best for children and pets to be kept indoors. After the product has dried, they will be able to go outdoors again, since the likelihood of contact with our product will have greatly decreased.
- After the visit, our mosquito treatment expert will return every 21 days during mosquito season (from March through September) to reapply treatments. This is the key to breaking the mosquito life cycle and ensuring protection all season long. The average mosquito lifespan is 21 days, and so this allows us to treat the mosquitoes at numerous phases in their lifecycle. New eggs will not be laid, helping to prevent new mosquitoes from infesting your property.
Noosa offers flexible payment plans for mosquito control services in Cornelius. North and South Carolina homeowners can choose to pay per application or prepay for the full season of treatments.

Tips for Preventing Mosquitoes on Your Property
The best way to prevent mosquitoes from infesting your property in Cornelius is to address stagnant water in your front yard and backyard. Mosquitoes only need a capful of water to lay their eggs in, so it’s important to be as thorough as possible, especially after it rains.
Common spots where stagnant water can be found include trash cans without lids, birdbaths, and yard care equipment like buckets, wheelbarrows, and fertilizer spreaders. Clogged downspouts and rain gutters, old fountains that don’t circulate water, and trays under flower pots often end up with stagnant water.
Your pets’ water and food bowls can end up gathering stagnant water, as can wrinkles in the covers of boats, grills, and cars. You’ll also need to make sure to check any kiddie pools and outdoor playsets.
When damaged window and door screens have gaps, it makes it easier for mosquitoes to enter your home. If you seal these gaps, it’ll be much harder for mosquitoes to get in.
Make sure to keep your grass neatly trimmed and remove any dead foliage from your yard. Mosquitoes like to hide in these areas.
