Mosquito treatment in cameron county
Fogging the patio before guests arrive only kills some of the adults that are already out. The next generation is in standing water: gutters, plant saucers, toys, buckets, and low spots in the yard. Larvae can develop in about an inch of still water. Many species can go from egg to biting adult in roughly 10 to 14 days. Our treatments attack the entire life cycle of the mosquito from larvae to adult.
Why one yard has more mosquitoes than another
Mosquitoes fly, but they stay near habitat.
Containers that hold rainwater: toys, buckets, tarps, recycling bins, spare tires
Clogged gutters and low spots that stay wet
Birdbaths and plant saucers that are not emptied
Thick shrubs and groundcover that give adults a dark, damp place to rest during the day
Irrigation that keeps the foundation and lawn edge wet
Container-breeding species often stay close to the house.
Health information
Mosquitoes can transmit viruses such as West Nile virus in many parts of the country. Most bites do not cause illness. Reducing standing water and adult numbers still matters if people use the yard in the evening or if children and pets are outside.
