Frequently Asked Questions — Mosquito Control in Durham

A standard barrier spray treatment is effective for 21–28 days. In Raleigh’s rainy season, when we average 4–5 inches of rain per month June through August, heavy rainfall can reduce effectiveness. We recommend re-treatment every 3–4 weeks during peak season (May–September).

In the Triangle, mosquito populations become active when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F — typically mid-March to early April. Starting treatments in March before populations peak gives you a head start. Zone 7a’s mild winters mean some mosquito activity can persist into November.

CritterGetters uses EPA-registered synthetic pyrethroid products that break down quickly in sunlight and heat. Once the spray has dried — typically 30–45 minutes after application — it’s safe for children and pets to re-enter the treated area. We avoid spraying flowering plants to protect pollinators.

Empty any standing water containers before treatment (bird baths, flower pot saucers, dog bowls, clogged gutters). Standing water sources that remain after treatment will continue to produce mosquitoes. We’ll note any standing water issues we find during the service visit.

Barrier spray won’t eliminate mosquitoes breeding in adjacent water bodies — but it will significantly reduce the adult populations that enter your yard from those sources. For homes near Crabtree Creek, Walnut Creek, or any of the Triangle’s greenway corridors, we recommend combining barrier spray with larval source treatment (BTi) for maximum effect.
