Mosquito Control in Austin
Reclaiming Your Outdoor Living Space
In Austin, our beautiful outdoor season is often plagued by one persistent downside: the mosquito. These aggressive pests do more than just leave itchy welts; they can make your patio, pool area, or backyard completely unusable during the best times of the day. The warm, humid climate in our area provides the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, allowing populations to explode rapidly if left unchecked. Standard citronella candles and over-the-counter sprays rarely offer enough protection to truly reclaim your yard, leaving you frustrated and forced back inside.
At A-Tex Pest Management, we believe you should be able to enjoy your property without the constant swatting. Since 2002, we have been helping our neighbors fight back against biting pests with scientifically proven strategies. Our certified technicians understand the specific habits of local mosquito species and use advanced methods to drastically reduce their numbers. We focus on breaking the life cycle of the mosquito, providing you with a safer, more comfortable environment for your summer BBQs and evening relaxation.

More Than Just a Nuisance: Understanding the Risk
While the annoyance of a mosquito bite is immediate, the potential long-term consequences can be much more serious. Mosquitoes are often cited as the deadliest animals on the planet due to their ability to transmit dangerous diseases. In the Austin area, the threat is real, with concerns ranging from West Nile Virus to Zika and Chikungunya. These illnesses can affect anyone, turning a simple bite into a significant health scare for your family.
Furthermore, mosquitoes pose a direct threat to your four-legged family members. They are the primary vector for heartworm disease, a potentially fatal condition for dogs and cats if preventative measures aren't taken. Understanding that mosquitoes are a health hazard, not just a backyard pest, is the first step in prioritizing professional control. Effective management reduces these risks, adding a crucial layer of protection for your household and pets.

Reducing Mosquito Habitats in Your Yard
While our treatments are highly effective, you can help maximize results by making your yard less inviting to mosquitoes. These pests require standing water to reproduce, and even a bottle cap full of water can support dozens of larvae.
- Tip and Toss: Regularly check your yard for items that collect water, such as flower pot saucers, toys, buckets, and old tires, and empty them.
- Clean Gutters: Clogged gutters are a primary breeding ground; keep them free of debris so water flows freely.
- Maintain Pools and Ponds: Keep swimming pools chlorinated and circulated. For birdbaths, change the water at least once a week.
- Trim Vegetation: Mosquitoes rest in tall grass and dense bushes during the heat of the day. Keeping your lawn mowed and shrubs trimmed reduces their shelter.
- Fix Leaks: Repair leaky outdoor faucets or hoses that create permanent damp spots in your yard.
