Mosquito Control Companies in Texas

Mosquito control companies treat the yard where mosquitoes rest and breed, and every company below offers mosquito control. Texas has 85 identified mosquito species. The southern house mosquito carries West Nile virus in urban Texas, and the yellow fever and Asian tiger mosquitoes, both daytime biters, stay within 200 to 300 yards (180 to 275 m) of where they breed. Standing water on your own property is the first target. Mosquitoes breed in as little as a tablespoon (15 ml) of water, and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) advises emptying water-holding containers at least once a week.

Mosquito control for hire for a homeowner or a homeowners association (HOA) needs a structural license in the Pest category. A misting system installed with no service after the sale needs no license. Ask a company that sells misters whether the company services them too, and under which license. Water that cannot be drained takes a larvicide such as Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis).
