Mosquito Treatment

Mosquito season in Texas typically runs from March through September as the weather warms up and we have our Spring rains. During this time, the warm and humid conditions provide the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. It is essential for residents and visitors alike to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites, as they can transmit diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus. To minimize the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses, it is recommended to use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and eliminate standing water around your homes and businesses where mosquitoes breed. By watching conditions and taking preventative measures, individuals can enjoy the Texas outdoors while reducing their exposure to mosquitoes and potential health risks.

Mosquitoes go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Understanding these stages is crucial in determining the best time to have pest control measures taken on your property. Mosquito larvae require standing water to develop, so eliminating any sources of stagnant water around your home can prevent them from maturing into adults. The pupal stage is when mosquitoes transform into their adult form, making it a critical time for mosquito control measures. Removing mosquitoes during the adult stage is also effective in reducing their population. To effectively manage and eliminate mosquitoes, we recommended putting a combination of strategies in place such as removing standing water, using repellant, and employing professional pest control services such as Bug Blasters Pest Control for more severe infestations or to deal with a larger piece of property.
