Mosquitoes aren’t just an annoying summer nuisance in Houston—they’re a serious public health risk. These tiny flying pests are known carriers of dangerous diseases like West Nile Virus, Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya, and their presence can turn your beautiful backyard into a no-go zone.

At Bug State Pest Control, we take a strategic, science-based approach to mosquito control. Our expert technicians focus on eliminating breeding habitats, treating high-risk areas, and implementing long-term solutions that safeguard your yard and protect your family.

Understanding Mosquito Behavior: Why Prevention Matters

Mosquitoes need water to breed—period. Female mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water, which hatch into larvae in as little as 48 hours. Without proper control, your property can become a mosquito breeding ground after just one rainfall.

Common breeding sites include:

Birdbaths and kiddie pools

Gutters and downspouts

Garbage can lids and containers

Flower pot saucers

Pet water bowls

Discarded tires and cans

Ornamental ponds and fountains

Low spots in your yard that hold puddles

One mosquito can lay up to 300 eggs at a time, and in the right conditions, you can go from a few bites to a full-blown infestation in less than a week.

Our Proven Mosquito Control Strategy

At Bug State Pest Control, we go beyond temporary fixes and attack mosquitoes at the source—their breeding grounds. Our integrated mosquito management plan combines property assessment, habitat elimination, targeted treatments, and educationto give you real relief that lasts.

🔍 Step 1: Comprehensive Property Inspection

We walk your property to identify and map out:

Active mosquito breeding zones

Stagnant water sources

Areas of poor drainage

Shade and vegetation where adults rest during the day

We inspect common trouble spots like:

Clogged gutters

Improperly draining downspouts

Pool covers and unused fountains

Landscaped areas that retain water

Outdoor furniture and décor that collect rainwater

🚫 Step 2: Habitat Elimination & Recommendations

Mosquitoes can’t breed without water, so our first line of defense is to eliminate or manage standing water. Our team will:

Recommend drilling holes in the bottom of outdoor containers—not the sides—so water drains properly

Clean or redirect clogged gutters and downspouts

Suggest regrading problem areas in your yard where puddles persist after rain

Aerate ornamental ponds or suggest stocking them with mosquito-eating fish

Advise on best practices for pools, including chlorination—even while unused

Help homeowners set up a routine for dumping birdbaths, flower pot trays, and pet bowls twice a week

💧 Step 3: Safe, Targeted Mosquito Treatments

Once habitats are addressed, we apply targeted larvicides and adulticides in key areas:

Shrubbery, hedges, and shaded vegetation

Undersides of leaves where mosquitoes hide during the day

Damp ground and mulch beds

Around water features and perimeter zones

We use EPA-approved, low-odor products that are safe for children, pets, and pollinators—but deadly to mosquitoes.

🔁 Step 4: Monitoring & Maintenance

Mosquitoes are seasonal pests, and we offer routine treatments during peak mosquito months (March through October in Houston). Our recurring plans provide ongoing protection and allow us to adapt treatment strategies to changing environmental conditions.

What Works—and What Doesn’t

We believe in science-backed solutions , not gimmicks. There are many mosquito “remedies” circulating around Houston neighborhoods that simply don’t work—and can waste your time and money.

❌ What Does Not Work for Mosquito Control:

1. Bug Zappers

While the sizzle may be satisfying, less than 1% of what these devices kill are biting mosquitoes. Most of the victims are beneficial insects.

2. Citrosa or Citronella Plants

Though citronella oil repels mosquitoes, the plants themselves don’t. Mosquitoes have even been observed landing on the leaves of these so-called “mosquito-repelling” plants.

3. Bats and Purple Martins

Both eat insects—but mosquitoes make up less than 1% of their diet . Creating habitat for them won’t solve your mosquito problem.

4. Electronic Sound Devices

Devices that emit sounds mimicking male mosquitoes or predators like dragonflies do not deter mosquitoes. Entomologists have deemed most of these claims to be scientifically unfounded or outright fraudulent.
