What Attracts Mosquitoes to Properties in Hickory, Alexander & Burke Counties

This region of western North Carolina experiences regular rainfall and dense vegetation. Wooded surroundings and shaded properties create favorable conditions for mosquito activity.

Standing water is not always easy to spot and may collect in small areas around the home.

Common mosquito attractants include:

• Standing water in buckets, planters, and yard equipment
• Damp areas near wooded property lines
• Low spots where water collects after rainfall
• Tall grass and overgrown landscaping
• Leaf piles and organic debris

Mosquitoes reproduce quickly. Without consistent mosquito management, problems often return. Mosquitoes only need temperatures around 55°F to begin becoming active again, even during brief warm periods.

Getting Rid of Mosquitoes in Your Backyard

Reducing mosquito activity begins with limiting areas where mosquitoes rest and lay eggs. These steps can help lower activity around your property. They work best when paired with professional mosquito control.

Homeowners in Hickory, Alexander, and Burke Counties can:

• Empty standing water regularly
• Keep gutters clear
• Trim dense shrubs and tall grass
• Remove leaf piles and yard debris
• Refresh birdbaths and pet bowls often

Mosquitoes can breed in small amounts of water that are easy to miss. Professional mosquito control helps address hidden breeding areas.

Quick Tip:
Refresh birdbaths and decorative water features regularly to help prevent mosquito larvae from developing.

Mosquito365 in Hickory, Alexander & Burke Counties

Mosquito365 is Terminix Service, Inc.'s quarterly mosquito management program designed to help reduce mosquito activity throughout the year. Instead of relying only on seasonal sprays that target adult mosquitoes, this program focuses on reducing mosquito breeding so populations are managed before they grow.

After a professional inspection, mosquito stations are placed in strategic areas around the property where mosquitoes are most likely to gather and reproduce. These stations attract mosquitoes looking for places to lay eggs and prevent larvae from developing into biting adults. Because the stations remain active continuously, they help manage mosquito activity even as conditions change throughout the year.

The stations remain effective through rainfall and normal weather conditions and are not harmful to children, pets, wildlife, or pollinators. They stay in place year-round and are serviced quarterly to maintain performance. Mosquito365 can also be aligned with existing pest control services for convenient scheduling.
