Hillsborough Yards Along the Eno River See Heavy Mosquitoes

Rural NC properties with low-lying land, ponds, or drainage ditches face higher mosquito pressure than most suburban yards, and ClearDefense Pest Control sees it across the area. Angier, Creedmoor, Pittsboro, and Oxford all have properties with natural water features that breed mosquitoes fast. Wooded acreage also gives them shaded daytime resting spots. Population builds quickly once warm weather arrives in April.

West Nile virus is the primary mosquito-borne illness concern in Hillsborough and Orange County, ClearDefense Pest Control notes. Eno River basin standing water creates consistent Culex breeding habitat throughout the county. Cases have been confirmed in North Carolina. Eastern Equine Encephalitis is also present in the state. Eno River proximity creates elevated breeding pressure for Hillsborough properties near the river corridor, especially during and after fall rainfall.

To keep bugs away from your Hillsborough, NC property, ClearDefense Pest Control says to start by fixing wet spots. Fix leaky sinks right away to dry out damp spots. Sweep your floors daily to remove tiny food bits.
