Mosquito Control Services in Jacksonville
Since 1963, May Exterminating has helped families in Jacksonville and the surrounding Coastal Plain reclaim their backyards from the persistent threat of mosquitoes. We understand that in Onslow County, mosquitoes are not simply a summertime annoyance; they are a pervasive presence driven by our high humidity, frequent rainfall, and proximity to wetlands.
Our Jacksonville mosquito control team approaches this challenge with a strategy that goes beyond simple fogging; we target the pest at every stage of its lifecycle, from the eggs in standing water to the biting adults resting in your shrubbery. May Exterminating operates on a foundation of transparency, providing free estimates and clear explanations of our treatment methods without making unrealistic promises of total eradication. We focus on significant population reduction to make your outdoor spaces usable again.

Our Service Strategy
We tailor our exterminating protocols to the specific behaviors of the mosquito species found in our region, utilizing a multi-faceted approach to break their reproductive cycle.
- Barrier Protection Sprays: We apply residual treatment to the underside of leaves in shrubs, trees, and dense vegetation where adult mosquitoes rest during the heat of the day.
- Larval Source Control: Our team identifies and treats standing water sources that prevents the developing larvae (wigglers) from maturing into biting adults, stopping the next generation before it takes flight.
- Breeding Site Elimination: We conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify and mitigate "accidental" breeding grounds and provide actionable recommendations to help you reduce the water accumulation that attracts egg-laying females.
- Special Event Treatments: We offer one-time, intensive barrier treatments designed to clear your property for weddings, graduations, or barbecues. We time these applications to ensure maximum protection during your specific event window so your guests can celebrate without swatting.
Addressing Mosquito Infestation with Reliable Service
Mosquito control is a matter of public health as much as comfort. In Eastern North Carolina, mosquitoes are vectors for serious illnesses, including West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. By reducing the mosquito population on your property, we help lower the risk of transmission to your family. We focus on creating a buffer zone around your home that allows you to walk from your car to your door without being swarmed.
We adapt our service frequency to match these environmental challenges and pressures of the Coastal Plain that allow mosquito populations to explode overnight. While no service can eliminate every single mosquito in an open environment, our goal involves reducing the population to a level where you can comfortably enjoy your deck or patio. We educate our clients on the importance of community effort, as reducing breeding sites on one property benefits the entire neighborhood.
A Legacy of Responsible Application
We built May Exterminating on values of integrity and community care. We prioritize the safety of your local ecosystem by adhering to strict application standards. We avoid spraying flowering plants while they are in bloom and focus our treatments on the shaded, non-flowering harborage areas where mosquitoes actually rest. Our technicians undergo continuous training to ensure they apply products responsibly and effectively.
We treat your property with the same caution we would use in our own homes. We believe in earning your trust through consistent results and open communication. If you experience a surge in activity between our scheduled visits, we return to re-assess and re-treat your property. We aim to be the team you rely on to keep your outdoors accessible.
