The climate of coastal South Carolina makes Hilton Head and surrounding areas a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, especially during spring and summer months when we all want to be outside. Mosquito season in the Lowcountry runs from March through October. The warmer it gets, the more mosquitoes we see. While we will see activity in March and April, mosquitoes are out full force in June and then hang around all summer long.

Like us, mosquitoes consider Hilton Head Island paradise with our warm temperatures and humidity. Because sunny days will quickly dehydrate mosquitoes, they are most prominent at dawn and dusk. Then on rainy days, they become even more active. So, what can you do? Nix your mosquito problem by calling on MosquitoNix to treat your yard. 

Since 2006, MosquitoNix has been a trusted outdoor specialist. They are the first to offer a brand new, revolutionary, natural mosquito control solution to the Lowcountry.

“Our solution is non-toxic, derived from clean organic sources, and beneficial for the environment,” said Anthony Antonucci, Operating Partner MosquitoNix Hilton Head. “The solution is safe, gentle, and eco-friendly, so you can feel great using MosquitoNix around kids, pets, family and friends. This game changing mosquito control solution is used in both our misting systems and fogging treatments.”

Hilton Head residents and commercial clients alike prefer the MosquitoNix difference because their method successfully controls the lifecycles of all the worst outdoor pests, including not only mosquitoes, but also flies, ticks, no-see-ums/gnats, fleas, and spiders and does not cause disease, harm, or death to mammals, fish, livestock, birds, frogs, bees or poultry when used as directed.

“Our permanent insect misting systems are more unique than others,” said Antonucci. “We pioneered this method, and we are the industry specialists.”

Once you opt for the MosquitoNix method, a service technician will install a 55-gallon drum in your service yard or under your house to hold the solution. They bury tubing under the ground or run it flush on the eaves of your home, so you’ll barely even know it’s there. Nozzles are attached to the tubing every 10 feet around the perimeter of your backyard. Natural elements, like trees, can be used as risers to position the nozzles wherever they provide the best coverage in the least obtrusive way. The system will be set to spray three times a day for 45 seconds each time.

“From there it’s kind of out of sight, out of mind,” said Antonucci, “The system is set on an automatic timer. Just set it and forget it. It also comes with an app that allows you to mist your yard from your phone anytime you want. For example, if there’s an infestation going on at sunset, then you have the option to spray your yard with a touch of your phone and immediately control the problem.”

MosquitoNix also offers a temporary solution called “Quick Nix,” which is a backpack fogging treatment. It’s perfect for parties or if you aren’t looking for a full-on permanent system. 

Mosquito Nix allows you to enjoy your outdoor spaces bite and bug free. 

“QuickNix is a three-step process, where before your event, the technician will come out and lay granules down,” explained Antonucci. “These work as a repellent. Then we spray with a backpack mister. This treatment will typically last about three weeks and is guaranteed for 72 hours. If there’s heavy down pour down or torrential rain, it won’t last as long. It’s not a permanent solution, but for a temporary fix, the QuickNix gets rid of any kind of unwanted pests.”

MosquitoNix also offers a portable option, which is an EPA-approved solution. It looks kind of like a Coleman lantern, and it works with an aerosol can, spraying mist for four seconds. It’s great for nixing pests when you are out-and-about in the mornings on the boat or in the evenings for sunset on the beach. 

Natural elements, like trees, can be used as risers to position the nozzles wherever they provide the best coverage in the least obtrusive way. 

If you’re looking for superior residential and commercial pest control with unsurpassed customer service, MosquitoNix service PestNix is the best choice. MosquitoNix provides full-service pest control with expert service technicians that are licensed through the Department of Agriculture, passed a rigorous background check, and undergone extensive pest control training.

With the MosquitoNix breakthrough outdoor mosquito control system, you’ll be able to effortlessly enjoy your backyard or business grounds while also protecting your loved ones or employees from dangerous, vector-borne illnesses.
