Source Inspection
We walk your property to identify standing water sources (breeding sites) and resting vegetation (daytime harborage). Eliminating breeding sites is as important as pesticide application.
Barrier Spray Treatment
We apply a micro-encapsulated residual insecticide to vegetation, shrub undersides, and shaded resting areas. This barrier kills mosquitoes on contact and continues killing for 21–30 days.
Larval Control
Where standing water cannot be eliminated, we apply mosquito larvicide (Bti — a biological control safe for people and pets) to prevent larvae from maturing.
Recurring Program
Mosquito populations are seasonal and continuous. Our most effective programs include monthly or every-21-day treatments from spring through fall, maintaining the barrier throughout peak mosquito season.
Why Mosquito Control Is More Than a Comfort Issue
Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on Earth, responsible for more human deaths annually than any other creature. In North Carolina, they transmit La Crosse encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), West Nile virus, and dog heartworm. These are not theoretical risks — EEE cases have been confirmed in western NC counties.
Consumer foggers and citronella products provide only minutes of protection. Professional barrier sprays target the vegetation where 95% of mosquitoes rest during the day, providing up to 30 days of reduced mosquito activity with a single application.
H&H's licensed technicians use micro-encapsulated formulations that bond to vegetation and release slowly, maximizing residual effect while minimizing environmental impact. Our products are approved for use in sensitive environments and are safe for people and pets once dry.
