Why is Mosquito Control Necessary in South Carolina?
South Carolina is particularly vulnerable to mosquito-borne illnesses due to its humid and warm climate. They breed quickly in standing water, so it’s important to take action as soon as possible. Not only do mosquitoes carry unpleasant diseases like dengue fever and malaria, they are also a nuisance with their itchy bites and buzzing sound. By reducing the mosquito population in your area, you can enjoy a better quality of life and reduce the risk of disease. Mosquito treatments are important for any area that has standing water or damp conditions, and it’s especially necessary for South Carolina residents.
Treatment Options
At Anchor Environmental, we provide several treatment options to make sure your property is thoroughly protected from mosquitoes. Our treatments include:
- Mosquito Fogging – We use a backpack fogger to evenly distribute a fine mist of insecticide over your property, providing quick and effective relief.
- Misting Systems – Misting systems are installed around your property and release a fine mist of insecticide at regular intervals, providing continuous protection.
- Mosquito Pots – Mosquito pots contain natural attractants that lure in mosquitoes. The insects become trapped inside the pot, where they eventually die. These pots are a great solution for small areas or if you want to spot treat a certain area.
Our team will work with you to develop a mosquito control plan that meets your needs and budget. We look forward to helping you keep your family and property safe from pests!

Yes! When pesticides are properly applied, they are safe for children, pets, and the environment. Professional mosquito control companies use EPA-approved products that are specifically formulated to target mosquitoes. These products have been extensively tested for safety and efficacy before being approved for use by the EPA. These treatments are applied in extremely low concentrations and have been used in residential and commercial settings for decades without any documented health or environmental issues. We do offer organic, and non-chemical treatment options as well.
Mosquito season in South Carolina typically begins in late March or early April and lasts until October or November. The peak season for the Upstate region of South Carolina is April through September. These insects enjoy warm and humid weather and can multiply quickly when the temperature is above 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The best way to protect your family and property from mosquitoes is to take preventative measures. Here are some tips for preventing an infestation:
- Keep your yard free of standing water, which serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
- Install or repair window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.
- Wear light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors.
- Use insect repellents that contain DEET (diethyltoluamide), picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or para-menthane-diol to help keep mosquitoes away.
- Make sure your rain gutters are clean and draining properly.
- Put a fan on your patio or deck to create a breeze that will discourage mosquitoes from landing on you.
- Use citronella candles or torches to help keep mosquitoes away.
- Turn off outdoor lights at night, or use yellow "bug" bulbs which are less attractive to mosquitoes.
