The Mosquito Threat in South Texas

Mosquitoes in the McAllen area are persistent and resilient. Unlike other regions where mosquitoes are only a seasonal problem, our warm climate allows them to remain active for the majority of the year. This extended season increases the risk of exposure to diseases and makes population control a critical part of home maintenance.

• Disease Transmission: Mosquitoes are known carriers of Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and West Nile Virus, all of which have been concerns in South Texas.
• Rapid Breeding: A female mosquito needs only a bottle cap full of water to lay hundreds of eggs, which can turn into biting adults in just a few days.
• Aggressive Behavior: Many local species, particularly the Aedes aegypti, are aggressive day-biters, meaning the threat isn't limited to dusk and dawn.
• Pet Health: Mosquitoes transmit heartworms to dogs and cats, posing a lethal risk to your furry family members if they are not on preventative medication.

Understanding that mosquitoes are not just annoying bugs but a genuine health threat is the first step in prioritizing professional control.

Our Comprehensive Mosquito Reduction Process

At BUGWORKS Termite & Pest Control Company, we take a multi-faceted approach to mosquito control. We know that simply spraying the air is not enough; we must attack the problem at its source. Our licensed technicians use a combination of science-based strategies to break the lifecycle of the mosquito and provide long-lasting relief.

• Property Inspection: We scour your property to identify breeding grounds, such as stagnant water in pots, gutters, and low-lying areas.
• Larvicide Application: We treat standing water sources that cannot be drained with eco-friendly larvicides to kill mosquitoes before they hatch.
• Barrier Sprays: We apply a residual mist to foliage, shrubs, and cool, dark areas where adult mosquitoes rest during the heat of the day.
• Hospital-Grade Safety: Utilizing our medical facility background, we select products that are tough on pests but safe for your family and pets once dried.
• Recurring Protection: Because mosquitoes are constant invaders, we offer recurring services to maintain the protective barrier around your home.
