Comprehensive Mosquito Treatment Solutions

Hartz Pest Control offers customized mosquito control treatments tailored to your property’s specific needs. Using EPA-registered products and proven methods, their team treats mosquito resting and breeding areas to eliminate active populations and prevent future infestations. Whether you need one-time treatments for special events or ongoing seasonal service, Hartz Pest Control provides dependable, effective options to keep your yard mosquito-free.

Why Is Mosquito Control Important in Houston?

Houston’s subtropical environment allows mosquitoes to breed nearly year-round, increasing the risk of bites and the spread of diseases. Regular mosquito control helps protect your family, pets, and guests while creating a more comfortable outdoor living space. Hartz Pest Control targets high-risk areas around your property to disrupt the mosquito life cycle and reduce the population effectively.

How Can Homeowners Help Prevent Mosquito Problems?

While professional treatments are crucial, homeowners can help by:

Removing standing water from gutters, planters, and pet bowls
Keeping grass trimmed and bushes well-maintained
Using screened windows and doors
Installing outdoor fans to reduce mosquito activity

A combination of these preventative measures and Hartz’s professional services ensures year-round protection.

Signs You Need Mosquito Control

Wondering if it’s time to call a professional mosquito control service in Houston? Here are some common signs that your property may have a mosquito problem:

Frequent mosquito bites when spending time in your yard, especially during the early morning or evening hours.
Visible swarms of mosquitoes around shaded areas, patios, or near standing water sources like birdbaths, gutters, or plant saucers.
High-pitched buzzing sounds near your ears when outdoors, a telltale sign of active mosquitoes nearby.
Presence of standing water in your yard, which provides breeding grounds for mosquitoes to lay eggs.
Increased mosquito activity after rainfall or warm, humid days — prime conditions for mosquitoes to multiply.
Difficulty enjoying your outdoor spaces without constant swatting or itching.

If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s a smart move to contact Hartz Pest Control for a thorough inspection and tailored mosquito treatment plan. Early action helps prevent larger infestations and protects your family from mosquito-borne illnesses.

Our Mosquito Control Process

Inspection & Assessment

We start with a full review of your property, looking for mosquito breeding sites like standing water, heavy shade, and overgrown vegetation.

Targeted Treatment

Using a combination of larvicides and adulticides, we treat areas where mosquitoes are likely to live and breed. All products are EPA-registered and carefully selected to provide effective mosquito control while meeting federal and local safety standards. You can reenter your yard just 30 minutes after treatment.

Ongoing Service Plans

For continued relief, we offer seasonal and year-round service plans. These plans cover mosquito control and also treat 25 common pests, including lawn and ornamental insects.

Tips to Reduce Mosquito Activity Around Your Home

Dump standing water in flower pots, buckets, and bird baths
Keep gutters cleared and flowing properly
Trim tall grass and overgrown shrubs
Refresh pet water bowls regularly
Use screens on doors and windows, especially in spring and summer

While these steps help, mosquitoes often need a professional treatment plan to truly bring numbers down around your home or yard.

Diseases Mosquitoes Can Carry

Mosquitoes aren’t just a nuisance; they’re known to carry viruses that can affect your health.

West Nile Virus

This is the most frequently reported mosquito-borne illness in Texas. While many people won’t show symptoms, others may experience fever, headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, or nausea. In rare cases, it can lead to serious neurological complications.

Zika Virus

Zika tends to cause mild symptoms like joint pain, rash, and fever, but it’s especially concerning for pregnant women due to a possible link to birth defects such as microcephaly.

Dengue Fever

Most cases of dengue fever in the U.S. have been linked to patients' travel to endemic areas. While this is not common, the mosquito that spreads it (Aedes aegypti) is found in Texas and across the Southeast, so there is potential for local transmission.

Our mosquito control treatments help reduce the risk of these illnesses by targeting mosquito activity around your home or business.

Mosquito Control for Houston’s Climate & Conditions

Mosquitoes thrive year-round in Houston’s warm, humid climate, especially during spring through early fall. Standing water from rain, irrigation, and shaded yards create ideal breeding spots, and areas near woods, lakes, and parks see higher mosquito activity.

Our mosquito control programs use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to reduce breeding areas and apply targeted treatments with products like Suspend SC and SureKill Evolve SC. Our licensed team customizes each treatment based on your property’s layout and surroundings.

Looking for a more automated, long-term solution? Mosquito misting systems are growing in popularity across Houston homes and businesses. These systems release controlled sprays of mosquito control product through strategically placed nozzles, ideal for outdoor patios, yards, and commercial outdoor spaces.
