Mosquito Control In Elizabeth City, NC
Reclaim Your Outdoor Space With Albemarle Termite & Pest Control
To safeguard the health of your family and pets, it’s essential to keep mosquito populations under control. Mosquitoes are more than just annoying—they can transmit serious diseases to both humans and animals. By eliminating mosquitoes from your yard, you're also protecting against illnesses such as:
- West Nile virus
- Zika virus
- Dengue fever
- Chikungunya
- Viral encephalitis
While ensuring mosquitoes stay away from your property can help keep you safe from these dangerous diseases, it isn't always easy. Mosquitoes need standing water and moist soil to breed, and we have moisture in spades here in coastal North Carolina. Even if you manage to get all the standing water off your property and keep your soil dry, there could still be water sources like ponds or puddles close to your property.

How can I get rid of mosquitoes?
You likely can't get rid of an active mosquito infestation without professional help, but you can discourage them by following some mosquito prevention tips. Getting rid of standing water is a good place to start because most mosquitoes can't breed without it. Planting herbs like lavender and rosemary can also help deter mosquitoes.
-
Are mosquitoes dangerous?
Mosquitoes are extremely dangerous. They're the most dangerous animals in the world, in fact, because of all the deadly diseases they spread. Fortunately for us in the United States, our mosquitoes do not transmit the most dangerous mosquito-borne illness: malaria. But they can and do spread other dangerous illnesses throughout the nation, like viral encephalitis and West Nile virus.
-
Why do mosquitoes bite?
Mosquitoes bite for one reason: reproduction. Mosquitoes don't actually rely on blood for food. They eat nectar for a steady diet. However, when female mosquitoes need to lay their eggs, they have to have protein to do it. They get this protein from blood. This means only female mosquitoes bite, and only when they're ready to breed.
