Gastonia Yards Near the Catawba River See Heavy Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes stay active in Gastonia from late April through October because Piedmont NC's warm falls and retention ponds keep mosquito pressure high. Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem all have suburban drainage systems that create standing water pockets after rain. Mosquitoes breed in as little as a teaspoon of water, so even small low spots in yards add up, which is why ClearDefense Pest Control treats on a monthly schedule.

Yes, West Nile virus is the primary mosquito-borne illness concern in Gastonia and Gaston County. Culex mosquitoes breed in Catawba River basin standing water and stormwater drainage throughout the county. Cases have been confirmed in North Carolina, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis is also present in the state. Monthly treatment from ClearDefense Pest Control from April through October keeps biting populations low during the peak transmission months.
