Are you tired of gnats ruining your outdoor enjoyment in Charleston and the Lowcountry? At Mosquito Squad®, we understand how frustrating these pests can be. That's why we offer specialized services aimed at reducing certain pests in your yard like mosquitoes and other annoyances. With our targeted mosquito control treatments, several other pests may see a reduction in their populations, including creatures like gnats.

Are Gnats a Threat?

Gnats are huge irritants and threaten our outdoor lifestyles, as we all know. Swarming and sometimes biting, gnats are difficult to handle effectively. While some gnats are harmless, feeding on plant nectar, others, particularly females, seek out blood, leading to bites that can cause irritation, swelling, and redness. Moreover, they can easily become well-established in our yards, thriving in damp areas like those near potted plants or poorly drained spaces.

Charleston Gnat Protection for Your Yard

Before we treat your property, our trained technicians will conduct a thorough inspection to understand your yard's unique features, including areas favorable for insects like standing water, log piles, and dense vegetation. Every yard has elements that mosquitoes, gnats, and nuisances like no-see-ums find particularly attractive, and part of our process is to find these areas and make it clear they are not to be used as a breeding ground or shelter by either of these insects. This detailed examination helps us identify critical breeding and feeding sites for pests like these. Mosquitoes will see a dramatic reduction in their populations through our process, and you may also see a reduction in gnat populations with our gnat protection add-on.

Our barrier treatments are proven in the fight against aerial pests. By subscribing to our traditional mosquito barrier treatment plan, effective against both mosquitoes and other flying pests, you'll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with our services. Applied once every three weeks, our consistent treatment cycle makes it ideal for ongoing relief.

Preventative Tips for Gnat Protection

Pest control doesn't stop at professional treatments. Here are some tips to help reduce gnat breeding grounds on your property:

Dry out moist areas: Eliminate breeding sites by addressing areas that retain moisture, such as clogged gutters, downspout puddles, near air conditioners where water condenses, thick mulch, compost heaps, and yard waste piles.

Fix leaky pipes: Ensure that no plumbing leaks outside your home could provide a water source for gnat populations. Making sure your pipes are all adequately sealed also helps make your property less hospitable to gnats, no-see-ums, and mosquitoes. It doesn’t take much water for a gnat or no-see-um to begin its breeding process, so it helps to be especially vigilant about excess moisture on your property.
