If you’ve been here for at least one rainy season, you know that the Lowcountry is home to some of the most aggressive flying bloodsuckers known to man. Other regions may have mosquitos, but Lowcountry mosquitos have been militarized, capable of raising a welt before you even know they’ve landed on you. Joining them in their itch-inducing campaign are the dreaded no-see-ums, invisible monsters with an unquenchable thirst for blood.

Make no mistake, we are at war with these insatiable creatures. The stakes of this conflict? The marvelous outdoors that make the Lowcountry such a wonderful place to call home. Only one may call it their own. And yes, the mosquitos may have the numbers, but we have one number they don’t: 843-352-8873. You can call or text this number to reach MosquitoNix.

“When it comes to outdoor mosquito control, nothing works like MosquitoNix’s non-toxic misting system,” said local Operating Partner Ray Gillespie. “Our biological and botanical solutions use revolutionary technology, making them non-toxic and safe for human, pets and the planet when used as directed. Our sustainable pest control solutions set us apart from our competitors because we are able to install at any waterfront property.”

A fully-automated misting system that targets mosquitos, flies, fleas/ticks, no-see-ums/gnats and spiders, the MosquitoNix system discreetly mists a clean, organic, non-toxic solution two to four times per day, at 20 to 45-second intervals before dawn and after dusk. The result is an outdoor area rendered completely unhospitable to the bloodsuckers, but safe for people, pets and the beautiful environment that sets the Lowcountry apart.

Because while we love the maritime surroundings we call home, we’re not huge fans of their propensity to harbor bugs. “Warm weather, water and marshes that buffer the main land coast mean there are lots of mosquito and no-see-ums. Our team is well prepared to handle these nuisances with our misting services and systems,” said Gillespie. And while the MosquitoNix system deters mosquitos and no-see-ums, it’s completely safe for butterflies and bees.

Founded in 2003 in Dallas with offices across the country, Hilton Head Island’s MosquitoNix is family owned and operated, giving customers the true local experience.

“What is most unique is the unmatched services that we provide through our custom mosquito misting systems,” said Gillespie. “Our Team of experts, from the call center to the field, are fully dedicated to the customer. High expectations are the key to everything.”

A native of Alabama, Gillespie is a true family man as well as a four-star general in the war against mosquitos. His wife of 30 years, Angie, is a certified Breast Imaging Navigator with HHI Hospital, Bluffton Medical Campus and Coastal Carolina Hospital and both of his sons live nearby making family cookouts, trips to the beach or rounds of golf a regular occurrence.

Mosquitos, naturally, are not invited along.

“We take great pride in protecting your family and customer from mosquito-borne illnesses,” he said. “We want our customers to live outside with peace of mind.”

And it’s not just the warm-weather months that benefit from MosquitoNix’s presence in our area (especially since mosquitos here know no off-season).

“We turn to MosquitoNix Elves during the holiday season,” said Gillespie. “We supply, install, maintain, remove & store holiday lights and décor making for 100 percent hassle-free service. We are here to make your life easier, whether that’s through our holiday decoration services or our pest control.”

Backed by a 100 percent customer satisfaction guarantee, and representing the leading edge in the technological fight against the bloodsuckers who would otherwise rule our outdoors, MosquitoNix is here for you.

“The MosquitoNix difference starts with the people,” said Gillespie. “From the sales reps, customer service team, technicians, pest control operators & managers MosquitoNix working together for a common mission to protect outdoor lifestyles.”

Mosquitos and no-see-ums, you’ve been warned.
