Cary Retention Ponds Drive Mosquito Pressure All Fall Long

Mosquito populations are high in Cary because the Research Triangle's rapid growth means more retention ponds, more drainage basins, and more standing water near homes. Mosquito pressure in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and Durham runs from April through October most years, and ClearDefense Pest Control sees Jordan Lake and Crabtree Creek basin add localized pressure. Population builds fast in the area's warm humid falls.

West Nile virus is the primary mosquito-borne illness risk in Cary. Culex mosquitoes breed in Wake County's extensive HOA retention ponds and stormwater drainage, and cases have been confirmed in North Carolina. Eastern Equine Encephalitis is also present in the state. Cary's dense network of community ponds creates one of the highest local breeding pressures in the Triangle, which makes monthly fogging from ClearDefense Pest Control especially important here.
