Why Savannah yards are different
Tidal marsh, drainage ditches, shady live-oak canopy, and nine months of warmth — the Coastal Empire is mosquito habitat by default. Marsh-adjacent lots on the islands and along the rivers get pressure from both the breeding sites on your property and the ones a mile away that you can’t do anything about. The honest goal isn’t zero mosquitoes; it’s a yard you actually use.
The program that delivers that: source reduction first (we’ll point at every water-holding object on the lot), then a monthly misting of the resting zones, on schedule, through the season.
Why one-time sprays disappoint
A single barrier spray knocks down the adults resting in your shrubs — and the yard feels great for about a week. Then new adults hatch from every water source on and around the property, drift in from the marsh, and by week three you’re back where you started. Monthly cadence isn’t upselling; it’s how the chemistry actually wears in this rain and heat.
Starting on time beats starting strong
The first treatment of the year matters most: March, before populations build, sets the ceiling for your whole summer. Starting in June means fighting a population that already peaked. If you’re reading this in spring, your season will never cost less than it does right now.
