~30 min
Mosquitoes need still water to breed, so mosquito control starts with finding that water. Spyder Pest Solutions walks the yard, points out the spots that are producing mosquitoes, and treats the shaded areas where the adults rest during the day.
What mosquito control covers #
- A yard inspection for standing water and other breeding spots
- Advice on which water sources you can empty or cover yourself
- Treatment of the places where adult mosquitoes rest, such as shaded shrubs, fence lines and the space under a deck
This is a yard service. The mosquito guide goes deeper into where mosquitoes breed and what the local season looks like.
Signs you need it #
- You get bitten within a few minutes of stepping outside, especially around dawn and dusk.
- Mosquitoes lift out of shrubs or ground cover when you brush past.
- Water stands in low spots, drains or gutters for days after rain.
- You see small wriggling larvae in buckets, plant saucers or a birdbath.
- You have stopped using the patio or the yard in the evening.
How a visit goes #
- Ask for a visit online or by phone. The office gets back to you to settle the day and time.
- The technician walks the whole yard: gutters and downspouts, drains, low ground, containers, and the shaded plants where mosquitoes sit out the heat.
- You are shown the water sources that were found and told which ones you can fix yourself.
- Treatment options and the cost are explained before anything is applied.
What to do before the visit #
- Unlock gates so the technician can reach the back and side yards.
- Pick up toys, pet bowls and laundry from the yard.
- Tell the technician about fish ponds, beehives, vegetable beds or plantings meant for butterflies and other pollinators.
- Keep pets indoors during the visit.
What to do between visits #
- Once a week, tip out anything that holds water: buckets, saucers, toys, tarps and wheelbarrows.
- Change birdbath and pet water every few days.
- Clear leaves out of gutters so they drain.
- Cover rain barrels with a fine screen.
- Keep shrubs and tall grass trimmed so there is less shade to rest in.
- Mend torn window and door screens.
Frequently asked questions #
When is mosquito season here?
Tarrant County Public Health describes the local mosquito season as running from April through November. Warm, wet weeks inside that stretch bring the most mosquitoes.
Will treatment get rid of every mosquito?
No. Mosquitoes fly in from neighboring yards and from water you cannot control. The aim is fewer mosquitoes breeding and resting in your own yard, and removing standing water does much of that work.
How long does a treatment last?
It varies with rain, shade and how much breeding water is close by. The technician tells you what to expect for your yard.
Does the city spray for mosquitoes?
Tarrant County Public Health says each city handles mosquito abatement inside its own limits. Whatever your city does, the buckets, gutters and low spots in your own yard are still yours to deal with.
How is the cost worked out?
Yards differ in size, shade and drainage, so the figure comes after the technician has walked yours. Call for pricing.
