In the middle of the cold season, we typically find that Raleighites are dreaming of Spring. As a result, we get questions like ‘Does your mosquito control really work?’ time and time again. Not only is professional mosquito treatment more effective than the DIY approach, but it’s also the safer option. In North Carolina, particularly Raleigh, mosquitoes present homeowners with a dilemma. Locals want to spend their spare time enjoying the outdoors but don’t want to risk exposing their loved ones to vector-borne diseases like West Nile or Chikungunya. While the temporary solution might be mosquito spray or a citronella candle, the long-term, hassle-free answer is mosquito control. In this blog, we will answer a few of the most common mosquito control questions we receive from Raleigh customers.
