How to Keep Mosquitoes Away

Proudly Serving South Carolina | North Carolina | Georgia | Florida

The best way to keep mosquitoes away is to prevent mosquitoes from invading your outdoor areas in the first place. And you can do that with habit modification and professional extermination services.

Mosquitos like to lay their eggs in areas with slow-moving or stagnant water. So emptying pools of standing water and using a professional extermination service will help keep mosquitoes away from your outdoor areas and your family bite-free.

But there’s only so much you can do on your own to keep them away. That’s why we developed our Triple Defense Mosquito Protection, which is a new approach that attacks mosquitoes at every stage of their lifecycle.

Mosquitoes rebuild their populations every seven to ten days. A single treatment only stops one generation, which is why one-and-done approaches may sometimes fall short. Our recurring service collapses and breeding population over time, compounding your protection with every visit.

Rocket Pest Control’s Triple Defense Mosquito Protection

Around here, mosquitoes don’t take a break, and neither should your mosquito control. Our Triple Defense Mosquito Protection combines professional misting services with our innovative defense stations to deliver lasting relief (that gets better with every visit).

Here’s what you can expect:

Baseline Disruption in Visit 1: We load mosquito defense stations and apply misting treatment to kill larvae and adults.
Noticeable Reduction in Visit 2: Up to two generations of mosquitoes are blocked, and you’ll start noticing fewer bites.
Sustained Control in Visit 3: Consistent suppression is established, and populations will stay low all season long.

How It Works

Misting Service: Our professional misting treatment provides immediate relief by targeting adult mosquitoes and their breeding zones.
Mosquito Defense Stations: Three of the four mosquito life stages happen in water: exactly where our defense stations intervene. These stations work around the clock to break the breeding cycle.

Together, both solutions deliver mosquito control that lasts. Misting provides the immediate relief you want, while the stations eliminate future generations (by stopping them before they hatch).

What Attracts Mosquitoes?

Some people seem like mosquitoes are naturally attracted to them for some unknown reason, but there are a few factors that may attract mosquitoes to a person more than others. It is important to understand what attracts mosquitoes and how to prevent them.

Mosquitos are known to be vectors for a variety of diseases such as Zika, West Nile virus, and malaria. These are common in many parts of the world and can be transmitted to those who travel to Asia, South America, and Africa.

A few reasons why you may be attracting mosquitoes are:

Clothing: Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors and floral patterns, and are able to bite through tight-fitting clothing. Converting your arms and legs and wearing lighter-colored, loosely fitted clothing can help prevent bites.
Smells: Using floral-scented body products makes you a magnet for mosquitoes. They also like sweat and body odors. Make sure to avoid using perfumes or lotions and keep yourself clean, especially in areas that you know have a large mosquito presence.
Pregnancy: A study found that pregnant women attracted more mosquitoes than those not carrying a child.
Blood Type: People with O blood type are more likely to attract mosquitoes, while those with type A blood are less appealing to them.

Habitats Mosquitoes Are Drawn to

Mosquitos are drawn to areas with slow-moving or standing water. The female mosquitoes will usually lay their eggs in water where they will live until they hatch. They commonly like to live in wetlands, ponds, and swamps, but are also attracted to standing pools of water in your yard.

Common breeding sites include:

Bird Baths
Clogged Gutters
Plant Saucers
Children’s Toys
Tarps & Pool Covers
Old Tires

Make sure to remove any sources of stagnant water to help make your outdoor areas a less attractive place for mosquitoes to live. When you pair your efforts with our Triple Defense Mosquito Protection, you’ll maximize your results and keep populations low all season.
