As the Carolina temperatures rise and humidity creeps in, one thing becomes painfully clear—mosquito season is back.

At RDS Lawn Care Services, we know how miserable mosquito infestations can be. That’s why our mosquito control program is designed to not only kill mosquitoes—but prevent them from coming back. And right now is the ideal time to start treatments, before the summer population explodes.

Why Mosquitoes Are More Active Right Now
Mosquitoes thrive in warm, damp environments—which is exactly what spring in the Carolinas brings. As the temperatures climb above 50°F, mosquito eggs laid last season begin to hatch. Add in a few spring rains, and you’ve got ideal breeding conditions. These pests don’t need much—just a bottle cap of water is enough to hatch dozens of larvae.
That’s why April and May are critical months to get ahead of the problem with targeted mosquito control services.
Are You Accidentally Attracting Mosquitoes?
While professional mosquito control is your best line of defense, many homeowners unknowingly create the perfect mosquito habitat right in their own backyard. Here’s how to avoid giving these pests a reason to stick around:
🚫 Standing Water
Mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant water. That small puddle after a rainstorm? It’s a nursery.
✅ Check low spots in your yard and improve drainage if water lingers.
🚫 Objects That Hold Water
Buckets, birdbaths, old tires, tarps—if it holds rainwater, it attracts mosquitoes.
✅ Dump and flip items after storms and store buckets upside down when not in use.
🚫 Clogged Gutters
When gutters don’t drain properly, they become damp breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
✅ Clean your gutters regularly, especially after pollen season and storms.
🚫 Overgrown Grass and Bushes
Mosquitoes love to hide in tall grass, thick shrubs, and shady areas.
✅ Mow regularly and keep landscaping trimmed to reduce hiding spots.
🚫 Dark Colors
Believe it or not, mosquitoes are drawn to dark surfaces like black tarps and deep-colored patio furniture.
✅ Swap to lighter-colored options when possible, and avoid using dark tarps to cover anything outdoors.

Disease Prevention Is Peace of Mind
Most of the time, mosquito bites are nothing more than itchy bumps. But sometimes, one bite is all it takes to change everything. Our mosquito control service helps prevent the spread of dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses such as:
- Zika Virus

- Chikungunya
- Dengue Fever
These diseases can be serious or even life-threatening. Our professional team knows how to target mosquito populations before they have the chance to spread.
Consistent Treatments, Consistent Results
The key to long-term mosquito control is consistency. One treatment helps, but it’s not enough to win the battle for the entire season. That’s why we offer recurring mosquito control services that keep working throughout the warm months.
Our scheduled visits mean:
- You don’t have to worry about remembering to call—we handle the timing
- Populations don’t have a chance to rebound
- Your family enjoys outdoor spaces all season without interruption
We stay one step ahead so you don’t have to deal with mosquitoes again.
🗓️ Mosquito Season Timeline in the Carolinas
Here’s what mosquito season typically looks like in our region:
- March–April: Mosquitoes hatch as temps rise above 50°F
- May–August: Peak infestation period—this is when control is most critical
- September–October: Mosquitoes stay active in warmer, wetter fall months
- November–February: Mosquitoes go dormant, but eggs wait for spring
This is why it’s important to start mosquito control early and keep it going through fall.
