Durham summers belong outside, not swatting mosquitoes on the deck. Our seasonal mosquito program treats foliage, shaded resting areas, and standing-water breeding sites for up to 90% reduction in mosquito activity in your yard.
Common signs you need help
- Bites every time you step outside, even briefly
- Standing water in gutters, planters, birdbaths, or low spots
- Heavy mosquito activity at dawn and dusk
- Mosquitoes resting in shaded shrubs and tall grass
- Tiger or Asian mosquitoes (white-striped) common in NC
How Castle Exterminators handles it
Yard assessment
We walk your property to identify breeding sites, resting areas, and high-activity zones.
Monthly barrier treatment
Backpack misting of shrubs, foliage undersides, and resting harborage from April through October knocks down adult mosquitoes and stops them from re-establishing.
Larvicide for standing water
For drainage areas, fountains, and ponds we use mosquito-specific larvicides that are safe for fish and beneficial insects.
Frequently asked questions
Is the spray safe for kids, pets, and pollinators?
Yes. We apply treatments to foliage where mosquitoes rest, not flowers, and the spray dries within 20 minutes. We avoid blooming plants and pollinator zones.
How often do you treat?
Monthly from April through October — that is the Durham mosquito season.
