Red Hill begins where Conway ends, on US-501 heading toward Carolina Forest, and its mosquito problem owes more to drainage than to any river. Grading for the newer subdivisions moved water into ditches, swales and culverts, and still water needs only eight or nine warm days to produce a fresh generation. Culvert ends silt up, a swale keeps a puddle after every storm, and the vegetation along those margins is where adults rest through the middle of the day. Biting midges use the same low ground and come straight through screens that stop mosquitoes. A useful visit walks the property line and the ditch first, notes everything holding water, then treats the shaded resting places rather than fogging open lawn. Larvicide goes where standing water cannot be drained, and the rest of it is source reduction. New landscaping adds to it, since a bark bed watered daily and a fresh pond margin both hold the damp organic mud that midges breed in.
Housing age, groundwater, and the season all feed into it. This is the picture specific to Red Hill.
Red Hill consists mainly of two-thousands subdivisions on compacted fill beside older us-501 frontage houses. Renovation history is the wildcard, because an enclosed porch or a rebuilt bathroom often buries the old exterior wall along with the opening nobody sealed when the work went in.
Rain runs off the compacted ground into the ditch network instead of soaking away, so the same puddles are still sitting there a week after the storm that made them. Nothing here gets killed off by a frost, so the useful question is never what is active today but what is building for next month.
Given Coastal Carolina University, Conway Medical Center close by, commercial standards cover a lot of the Red Hill work: defined treatment zones, product records, and a written report the manager can hand straight to a health inspector.

A silted culvert end, a swale with a low spot, a blocked gutter, a tarpaulin over a trailer, saucers under pots. Mosquitoes here rarely fly far, so the source usually sits within a hundred yards of where you are being bitten. Finding it is the first half of the job. Rain barrels and boat covers account for more of it than people expect.
Where water cannot be drained, yes. A larvicide briquette or granule placed in a ditch line, a silted culvert or a low swale kills larvae before they emerge, which is far more efficient than chasing adults later in the season. Anything sitting on shared or public ground gets flagged for the right authority instead of treated without permission. Briquettes need replacing on a cycle rather than left in place.
Biting midges, called no-see-ums locally. They breed in wet organic mud rather than open water, they are small enough to pass through standard insect screen, and they bite hardest at dawn and dusk. Finer mesh on the porch you actually sit on, plus treatment of the damp ground and shaded vegetation nearby, is the combination that gives relief. They drift in on the lightest breeze, so still evenings are the worst.
Often a couple of hours for genuine urgency. Red Hill is Just southeast of Conway along US-501, and the technician arrives with the crawl space kit and product on board rather than turning up to look and quote, so the first visit normally settles it. Overnight and weekend cover exists for what cannot wait for morning.
