Mosquitoes, which transmit disease and are a huge pest throughout the year in Horry County, including Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and Surfside Beach. To effectively control these pesky creatures, it's essential to grasp their biology and reproductive habits which Bug Busters Pest and Mosquito Control can help you with at your home or business with our mosquito control services.

Understanding Mosquitoes and How They Reproduce

Mosquito Reproduction

A mosquitoes life cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, water that is not moving, which includes puddles, outside containers, marshes, or anywhere else water can sit still for a period of time. The eggs are laid on the surface of the water, which then turn into the adult mosquitoes. Mosquito eggs can turn into adult mosquitoes in as little as 8-10 days. Being proactive in disrupting still water on your property is key to keeping the adult mosquito population low.

Horry County has a perfect climate for mosquitoes to find breeding grounds with its warm and humid weather. At Bug Busters Pest Control we are trained to be able to detect areas where mosquitoes will populate and effectively help keep their population to a minimum throughout the year.

Dangers of Mosquitoes in Coastal Communities

Aside from being annoying, mosquitoes carry many health risks, some of which pose a threat to older and young populations. They are notorious for spreading West Nile Virus, Zika Virus, dengue fever and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas have a climate that breeds mosquitoes for almost 8 months of the year from the beginning of March through the end of November.

Residents and the tourists both are at risk for contracting diseases through mosquito bites, making effective mosquito control in the area a public health concern. Bug Busters Pest and Mosquito Control prioritizes not only getting rid of mosquitoes and where they breed but also stopping the spread of any disease they may carry.

Aside from carrying disease, mosquito bites can cause allergies in some people but most people get hives and severe itching reactions from the bites. You don't want to spend your time at the beach covered in itchy bumps.
