Marsh edge per square mile. The island is ringed by the Stono River, Charleston Harbor, Wappoo Cut and James Island Creek, so more of its neighborhoods sit against tidal marsh than almost anywhere in the Charleston area. Each exceptional tide floods more high marsh here, and each flood hatches a saltmarsh brood that flies inland over the whole island.

Yes. Every product carries EPA registration and is applied to label. Children and pets can return to treated areas after drying, about 2 to 4 hours, and we never treat while they are present.

Yes. Southern house mosquitoes come out on warm January days, and Aedes eggs in gutters hatch the moment temperatures hold above 50°F, sometimes in late February. The gap a May restart leaves is closed by the winter service.

Strong at the house, honest about the marsh. Barrier treatment typically cuts the yard population by 80% or more after the first two visits, but a marsh-front lot receives a fresh brood after every exceptional tide. The marsh-edge vegetation and larvicide of the low corners get priority on those lots, and we return free if pressure comes back early.

Barrier applications last approximately three weeks each. Monthly service keeps the coverage continuous all season.

With the first exceptional high tide of warm weather, whenever that falls. Peak pressure runs May through October, Asian tiger eggs hatch as early as late February, and NOAA’s Charleston gauge is recording more flood days each decade, so the trigger comes earlier and more often than it used to.

Yes. Adulticide on resting foliage and larvicide for undrainable water come with every visit. On James Island the larvicide matters year-round, because the high water table means the same low spots refill after every tide.

Yes. For a gathering at a James Island home we time a barrier treatment a day or two ahead so the patio and lawn foliage is treated when guests arrive. Tell us the date on (855) 800-8469.

West Nile virus, carried mainly by the Southern house mosquito, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. South Carolina reports West Nile in Charleston County, one of the coastal counties, most years. One bite is enough for a mosquito to transmit heartworm to dogs and cats.

The saltmarsh mosquito lays its eggs on damp high-marsh ground and the whole brood hatches together when an exceptional tide or heavy rain floods that elevation. Larvae finish in four to five days, and young females move about a mile a day inland before the brood works back toward the coast. Charleston County’s own history records that mosquito-borne disease emptied Willtown, one of the Lowcountry’s earliest planned settlements, by about 1750. The marsh has not changed; the treatment has.

Most James Island appointments are same-day or next-day. Call (855) 800-8469. If we cannot get to your home by the next business day, your initial service is on us.

The treatment covers shaded foliage and leaf undersides where mosquitoes rest, avoiding flowering plants where pollinators feed, and we schedule for early or late when bees are least active. Mention any pollinator plantings to your technician and we will work around them.
