North Charleston, SC Pest Control

What Everyone In North Charleston Could Want To Know About Mosquitoes

Here’s the thing about mosquitoes in North Charleston — they’re not going away anytime soon. These parasitic pests rely on blood meals to reproduce, and thanks to our high volume of people, pets, and wildlife, our city is the perfect place for mosquitoes to breed and thrive. 

If this doesn’t make you at least a little concerned, it should. Not only are mosquitoes obnoxious, biting pests that leave behind a host of itchy welts, but their ability to spread diseases affects children, pets, and at-risk adults. Even healthy people can fall prey to dengue, encephalitis, or even the Zika virus. 

That isn’t to say there’s nothing you can do about it, however. In fact, comprehensive and effective mosquito control is always just a call away! The professionals at Core Pest Solutions make it simple and effective to manage mosquitoes in a variety of locations — and all with the lasting power of In2Care mosquito traps. 

Why Are There So Many Spiders In My North Charleston Home?

The spiders of North Charleston are true nature-lovers, living most of their lives in the wilds of the great outdoors. So when these eight-legged invaders become frequent visitors to your home or yard, it may be time to be concerned. It may even point to other potential problems around your property. 

There are several reasons why spiders decide to infest North Charleston homes. For one, there may be a prevalence of entry points around the walls and foundations. These make it easy for spiders to wander in by accident, setting up webs and living spaces within the corners of your home. 

Another reason could be directly related to the weather. Cooler temperatures or an unnaturally rainy season may encourage large numbers of these arachnids to move into a house. Not only is the hunting much better, but the temperatures will also be far more appealing. 

Speaking of hunting, spiders may have moved into your North Charleston property due to an abundance of food, meaning there may be an infestation of beetles, ants, or other pests within the walls of your house that may or may not be obvious. Look around for signs of secondary pest infestations, or take pictures of the pests caught in nearby spider webs. 

Better yet, call on the professionals at Core Pest Solutions to find and prevent spider infestations right from the beginning. We offer decades of experience in the spider control industry and have everything you need to identify, treat, and mitigate spiders long before they get inside.
