Understanding Mosquito Risks in North Texas

Effective mosquito control starts with understanding the threat they represent and how they behave. In our region, mosquitoes are not just annoying pests; they are known vectors for serious illnesses. Being informed is the first step in protecting your family and property from these dangerous insects.

Here are key factors every Fort Worth resident should know:

• Mosquito-Borne Diseases: North Texas is a known hotspot for West Nile Virus, a serious disease transmitted by mosquito bites. Other illnesses like the Zika Virus and various forms of encephalitis are also a concern, making professional control a matter of public health.
• Rapid Breeding Cycles: Mosquitoes can lay hundreds of eggs in any small amount of standing water. A bottle of water is enough for them to breed. Common sources in yards include clogged gutters, birdbaths, flowerpots, and children's toys.
• Peak Activity and Hiding Spots: Most mosquito species are most active during the cooler hours of dawn and dusk. During the heat of the day, they rest in cool, damp, shady areas like dense shrubbery, under decks, and in tall grass.

Targeting both the breeding sites and adult resting areas is critical for any effective mosquito reduction plan.

Our Approach to Mosquito Reduction

At Western Exterminating, we implement a comprehensive mosquito control strategy that targets these pests at every stage of their life cycle. Our methods, guided by our on-staff entomologists, are designed to provide a significant reduction in mosquito populations, allowing you to enjoy your yard throughout the season.

Our professional mosquito service includes:

• Detailed Property Inspection: We begin by identifying mosquito breeding grounds and resting areas. We locate sources of standing water and pinpoint the foliage, decks, and other damp, shady spots where adult mosquitoes hide.
• Targeted Larvicide Application: To stop mosquitoes before they can fly and bite, we treat standing water that cannot be removed with larvicides, which are designed to eliminate mosquito larvae.
• Effective Adult Mosquito Treatment: We apply a fine mist of professional-grade, kid- and pet-friendly products to the foliage and other resting sites around your property. This creates a protective barrier that reduces the number of adult mosquitoes.
• Flexible Service Plans: We offer recurring monthly treatments during the peak mosquito season for continuous protection, as well as one-time services perfect for special outdoor events like weddings, parties, and barbecues.

Our multi-faceted approach provides the effective, lasting relief that DIY methods simply cannot match.

What Attracts Mosquitoes to My Yard?

Much like rodents & spiders, mosquitoes are naturally drawn to environments where they can find food, shelter, & breeding grounds. Several factors in your yard can make it a welcoming spot for these pests, increasing the likelihood of an infestation. Understanding what attracts mosquitoes can help you take preventive measures to minimize their presence.

Professional Control vs. DIY Mosquito Methods

While there are countless DIY mosquito products on the market, from citronella candles to bug zappers, their effectiveness is often limited and short-lived. Professional mosquito control offers a more comprehensive and reliable solution for protecting your family and property.

Store-bought repellents only create a small, temporary zone of protection and do nothing to address the source of the problem. A professional service targets the entire mosquito life cycle, from larvae in standing water to adults in their resting places, leading to a real population reduction.

Furthermore, professionals use products that are more effective and longer-lasting than what is available to consumers. Most importantly, they are trained in the precise and safe application of these materials, protecting your family, pets, and beneficial insects like bees and butterflies from unnecessary exposure.
