Dumping Water and Mosquito Treatments Work Better Together

While Fort Worth isn’t beating the U.S. average rainfall anytime soon, we certainly get our fair share of downpours and thunderstorms in the spring. Unfortunately, mosquitoes tend to emerge around this time, too, and the excess water left behind by sudden storms and intense flash flooding creates ideal breeding conditions for these pesky, biting invaders.

That’s where Mosquito Squad steps in to help. Our Fort Worth mosquito control treatments help control up to 90% of mosquitoes by actively disrupting the breeding cycles. The treatments use EPA-registered products, are applied by a trained technician, and are always backed by our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

Effective mosquito control is never a one-and-done treatment or sporadic yard maintenance.

Earlier this year, federal guidance from the CDC stated that the most effective method of mosquito management is through a concerted effort. Essentially, what this means is that everything from local mosquito surveillance to professional mosquito treatments must work together to effectively shield us against the threat of mosquito-borne illnesses.

Here’s why managing standing water on your property and partnering with a team for regular professional mosquito control treatments work hand-in-hand to help keep your property more enjoyable and less threatening when it comes to mosquitoes.

The Importance of Yard Maintenance For Mosquito Control

While we wish that mosquito control treatments alone would alleviate your issues, we can’t honestly say that certain factors in your yard don’t contribute to infestations. The good news is that most of what mosquitoes are drawn to in residential yards can be easily addressed, especially if you keep a schedule throughout the season.

Here are a few tasks we recommend keeping up on during mosquito season:

Dump standing water from containers like flowerpots, watering cans, and toys, and regularly change or treat the water in water features like birdbaths.
Keep a mowing schedule so your grass stays trimmed.
Trim foliage so it doesn't touch your home’s siding.
Clean your gutters a few times throughout the season (in the spring, once in the summer, and again before the leaves fall in autumn).
For comfort in outdoor spaces, consider using fans to disrupt mosquitoes’ weak flights.
Work with a pest control company on regular mosquito control treatments in Fort Worth.

How Adding Professional Mosquito Control on Rotation Can Enhance Your Results

When you effectively manage the mosquito attractants on your property, professional mosquito control can have a majorly positive impact on your results. During your first treatment, we will inspect your yard and review any hotspots you should address throughout the season. We’ll then use our findings to create a customized plan tailored to your yard’s layout and needs.

Then, we’ll apply a barrier treatment to your yard that helps control up to 90% of mosquitoes for up to 21 days. The solution we use is made with EPA-registered products and applied by trained technicians. Throughout the season, we’ll maintain a 3-week treatment cycle to help provide lasting results you can feel when you’re spending time in your yard.
