Because one is a lake and the other is a tide. Charleston Water System records that part of the Goose Creek dam washed out in July 1916 and the City bought the reservoir the next year; a dammed lake has a managed level and fixed, vegetated margins that never drain, which is exactly what the common malaria mosquito breeds in. The Cooper River lots get a saltmarsh brood after an exceptional tide instead. The species differ, the timing differs, and so does the treatment emphasis.

Yes. Each product is EPA-registered and used to label. Once the application has dried, generally 2 to 4 hours, children and pets can use treated areas; we never apply while they are there.

Yes. Southern house mosquitoes emerge on warm January days, and Aedes eggs in gutters and tree holes hatch the moment temperatures hold above 50°F, occasionally in late February. A winter service closes the gap a May restart leaves open.

Barrier treatment generally takes out up to 90% of the adult population each application. Cooper River waterfront lots usually see 80% or better after the first two monthly visits, with the marsh-edge vegetation as the priority zone because that is where the tidal brood lands.

Each barrier treatment runs about three weeks. Monthly visits maintain continuous coverage through the season.

It never fully ends. The peak runs May to October. The first saltmarsh brood follows the first exceptional high tide of warm weather, the reservoir shallows are producing by March, and Asian tiger eggs hatch as early as late February.

Yes. Every visit brings adulticide to resting foliage and larvicide to water that cannot be drained. On reservoir-side lots the larvicide is the decisive step, because the common malaria mosquito breeds only in permanent vegetated freshwater.

Yes. For a gathering at a Hanahan home we time a barrier treatment a day or two ahead so the patio and lawn foliage is treated when guests arrive. Call (855) 800-8469, date in hand.

West Nile virus, carried mainly by the Southern house mosquito breeding in Tanner Plantation’s retention ponds and the warehouse corridor drainage, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Despite its name, the common malaria mosquito is not a malaria risk in the modern United States. Mosquitoes transmit heartworm to dogs and cats too, from one bite.

The saltmarsh mosquito lays its eggs on the high marsh and the entire brood hatches at once when an exceptional tide or heavy rain floods that ground. Larvae finish in four to five days, and young females move about a mile a day inland. A waterfront yard gets a wave every time that happens, which is why tide timing matters more there than anywhere else in Hanahan.

Most Hanahan appointments are same-day or next-day. Call (855) 800-8469. If your home is not serviced by the next business day, the initial service is free.

We target shaded foliage and leaf undersides, the mosquito resting sites, not the flowering plants pollinators use, and we time the visit early or late when bee activity is lowest. Point out any pollinator plantings to your technician and we work around them.
