Mosquitoes Were Here First, But…..
Scientists estimate that mosquitoes have been around for several million years. There is no doubt that they have humans outnumbered. In fact, scientists say mosquitoes outnumber humans 9 million to one.
With odds like that, it seems hopeless that we could co-exist with these little pests. However, Hilton Head Exterminators General Manager Brian DeChirico says there is hope. “Our mosquito control program cuts off mosquito breeding at the source, which is the only way to overcome their domination of our outdoor environment.”
But, does it work? Is there hope? One Island resident provides an answer. “I used to have to enjoy our beautiful view from inside our home. Now, I can experience the view from outside. I can honestly say I have been able to reclaim my backyard. I can’t believe how well their plan works.”
DeChirico challenged a neighbor to try the Hilton Head Exterminators mosquito control program. DeChirico was confident in his service, and he was proven right. Now, his neigbbor/customer receives monthly mosquito control service and has overcome the 9 million to one odds.
Effective mosquito control is not simple, but understanding mosquito breeding can provide keys to success. The technicians at Hilton Head Exterminators are trained to look in all of the hidden places where mosquitoes breed. They apply their treatment in these breeding grounds to eliminate problems before they ever get started.
Technicians also offer advice to homeowners so they can do their part in the partnership. They point out places where standing water can become breeding grounds, and how simply eliminating those places can go a long way in keeping mosquito populations down. Just eliminating standing water alone will not solve mosquito problems, but these measures, along with a strategic program of regular professional treatments, can overcome the odds and allow families to enjoy their outdoors year-round.
