There's a version of summer in Chapel Hill where you actually use your patio. Where you can grill in the evening without retreating inside. Where your kids play in the yard past 6 PM. Where outdoor gatherings don't turn into a mosquito situation by 7:30.
That version is possible. It just requires treating the source — not just swatting at the symptom. PestGone Pest Control provides professional mosquito abatement for homes and businesses across Chapel Hill, NC. We treat the areas where mosquitoes live and breed, not just the spaces where they're visible.

Once they hatch, adult mosquitoes rest in dense vegetation during the day — tall grass, overgrown shrubs, tree canopy undersides, shaded fence lines. That's where they're accessible to treatment. Spraying the open air of your patio doesn't solve a mosquito problem. Treating the vegetation and standing-water zones where mosquitoes live and reproduce does.
Our barrier treatment applies a residual botanical or synthetic pyrethroid spray to the foliage, ground-level vegetation, fence lines, and shaded resting zones around your property. Residual activity continues for 21–30 days.
Our mosquito abatement program for Chapel Hill homeowners covers the full active mosquito season with scheduled barrier treatments at 21-day intervals. One treatment clears the current population; ongoing treatments prevent the next generation from establishing.
We install residential mosquito misting systems. These systems deliver timed, programmed sprays of botanical mosquito control product through a network of nozzles installed around your yard perimeter. We handle installation, refills, and maintenance.

2. Treatment Application: We apply barrier treatment to targeted vegetation. Open lawn and flowers are skipped.
3. Source Documentation: We note standing water sources and provide recommendations.
4. Re-entry Time: Most areas have a short re-entry interval of 30–60 minutes.
Most Chapel Hill clients notice a significant reduction within 24–48 hours of the first barrier treatment.
Yes, once dry. We'll confirm the re-entry interval for pets based on the specific product used.
Light rain after 4–6 hours has minimal impact. We'll reschedule at no charge if significant rain occurs shortly after treatment.
Not necessarily. If we have access through a gate, we can treat without you present.
The goal is a dramatic reduction—not a theoretical zero. Mosquitoes can still fly through from untreated neighboring properties.
Professional barrier spray treatment applies residual insecticide to the places where mosquitoes actually spend their time. It's different from citronella candles or zappers because it treats the environment where they live.
The Bottom Line: Professional mosquito control is worth it if you use your outdoor space and want to keep using it without bug spray and smoke. For most Chapel Hill homeowners with a standard residential yard, a seasonal barrier program delivers a summer of outdoor living.
