Myrtle Beach Mosquito Control
In our warm and humid climate, mosquitoes are more than just a seasonal nuisance--they're a persistent issue that can affect our quality of life. Wilkey Services Pest Management understands the unique challenges posed by mosquitoes in this region. Since 2010, we've provided effective solutions to keep these pests at bay, offering both same-day scheduling and emergency services.
The Risks of Mosquito Infestation
While mosquitoes rarely transmit serious diseases to human beings, at least in the United States, there are still consequences that come with an infestation:
- Outdoor nuisance and stress: Mosquitoes can turn your fun activities into stressful situations, making it impossible to enjoy a picnic, an outdoor event, or even just relaxing on your patio.
- Allergic reactions: Some people can experience allergic reactions to mosquito bites, which may lead to swelling, redness, and intense itching.
- Damage to agriculture: Mosquitoes can harm agriculture by transmitting diseases to livestock and affecting crop production.

Mosquito Prevention Tips
While no one can permanently stop mosquitoes, we’ll work with you on a plan to at least help keep them at bay. Some common mosquito prevention strategies include:
- Eliminate standing water: This is a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes, providing the perfect conditions for laying their eggs. By regularly addressing sources of standing water, such as bird baths, clogged gutters, and unused plant pots, you can disrupt their life cycle.
- Use mosquito repellents: These repellents work by masking the scents that attract mosquitoes, effectively making you invisible to them.
- Install screens: Fitting your windows and doors with high-quality screens can form a barrier that keeps mosquitoes outside. Ensure that the screens are intact and free from holes or tears through which mosquitoes could enter.
- Encourage natural predators: Birds and bats are natural mosquito predators and can play a significant role in controlling their populations. By installing birdhouses or bat boxes in your yard, you encourage them to stay in the area and feed on mosquitoes.
- Maintain your yard: Mowing your lawn and trimming bushes eliminates tall grasses and dense foliage where mosquitoes like to rest during the hot parts of the day. A tidy yard reduces the number of potential hiding spots for mosquitoes.
