Good to know in Houston

Houston has heavy rain, warm nights and many ditches, bayous and low spots, so mosquitoes breed for most of the year. After a storm, new standing water can produce a fresh batch in days. Yards that back up to drainage ditches usually need a tighter spray schedule.

Pest control companies in Texas are licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) Structural Pest Control Service, and technicians work under a certified applicator.

Questions about mosquito control

When should I start mosquito control?

Start in spring, around April, before the first big hatch.

Rain can reduce results. We include a re-spray after heavy rain in our season plan.

Yes. Dump water weekly from pots, toys and buckets.
