Where to Find MissQuito’s Mosquito Control Treatments

Charleston is a gorgeous coastal city that is home to an impressive number of historic buildings—and a maddening number of mosquitoes. This is not unexpected, as Charleston is warm, humid, and sees frequent rain—three factors that make for a mosquito hotspot.

While mosquito bites received in Charleston are unlikely to cause anything but temporary discomfort, mosquito bites can have significant health consequences. While by far the most dangerous mosquito-borne disease, malaria—which kills 400,000+ people annually—is quite rare in the US, other diseases, such as the West Nile virus, Chikungunya, and Dengue, have occurred in South Carolina.

Mosquito Season in Charleston, SC

Charleston has a humid subtropical climate, with significant rainfall all year long. This makes Charleston a breeding ground for mosquitos; according to the Charleston Public Works Department, over 50 mosquito species live in the city. Mosquito season in Charleston runs from around April to October, or as long as humidity remains.

Mosquito Life Cycle

Mosquitos go through four distinct stages of life: egg, pupa, larva, and adult.

Egg

These are laid by a female by the hundreds and either hatch within around 48 hours or stay dormant over the winter to hatch in spring.

Larva

After hatching, the larva lives in the water, feeding on organic material, shedding, and growing.

Pupa

The pupal stage is a resting, non-feeding stage. This is when the mosquito turns into an adult; it takes about two days. Once development is complete, the pupal skin splits and the adult emerges.

Adult

The newly emerged adult rests on the surface of the water for a short period to allow itself to dry and harden—then it’s ready to fly!

Obviously, mosquitos don’t really become bothersome until they reach the fourth and final stage, when they develop the exasperating habit of sucking blood. Fortunately, our all-female team of trained experts at MissQuito targets mosquitos throughout their entire lifecycle using a variety of eco-friendly repellants. Offering same to next day appointments, we’ll work around your schedule to make your corner of The Holy City as mosquito-free as possible.
