Why The Colony deals with pests
Updated June 2026
The Colony sits along Lewisville Lake, where the shoreline and shade keep mosquitoes and rodents active well past when other suburbs quiet down.
The Colony's defining feature is its position on a peninsula reaching into Lewisville Lake, and communities like The Tribute were built directly on that shoreline, putting mosquito-breeding water within reach of nearly the entire city, not just lakefront lots.
Austin Ranch and other neighborhoods near the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve back up to wooded, undeveloped land that gives rodents natural cover close to newer townhome and single-family developments.
The lake's moderating effect on humidity keeps The Colony's mosquito season running longer into fall than suburbs set back further from the water.
Local conditions: The Colony occupies a single ZIP code, 75056, built almost entirely around access to Lewisville Lake. The Tribute community sits on a peninsula that juts directly into the lake, and that much shoreline exposure keeps mosquito-breeding water within reach of nearly every neighborhood in the city, not just the waterfront homes.

Late winter
Feb to Mar
Termite swarmers begin on warm, damp days, and rodents that wintered indoors stay active. A good window for an inspection before spring.
Spring
Apr to May
Mosquito season opens early as Lewisville Lake's coves and shoreline hold spring rain, and fire ant mounds reappear across yards. Early treatment keeps both from establishing.
Summer
Jun to Aug
Peak season. The Colony's lake shoreline keeps mosquitoes breeding non-stop, and fire ants stay aggressive in the heat. Recurring barrier treatment matters most now.
Fall
Sep to Nov
The lake's moderating humidity keeps mosquito season running longer here than inland suburbs, and cooling weather pushes rodents toward attics and garages. Exclusion before winter pays off.
Winter
Dec to Jan
Outdoor activity slows, but rodents already indoors stay active. A quieter season for interior treatment.

Frequently asked questions
The Colony sits on a peninsula built directly into Lewisville Lake, and that much shoreline exposure moderates humidity and keeps breeding water close to homes well into fall, longer than suburbs set back from the water typically see. A recurring barrier treatment of shaded, damp resting areas is what keeps the mosquito pressure down through that extended season.
They can be. Neighborhoods backing up to the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve and other wooded, undeveloped land give rodents more natural cover close to newer townhome and single-family developments than a fully built-out subdivision would see.
Yes. The Colony is a small city built almost entirely around lake access, so even homes a few streets back from the shoreline are well within flying range of mosquitoes breeding on the water.
Yes. Once the product dries it's virtually harmless. We just ask you keep pets off wet areas for about 15 to 20 minutes. We use products approved for use in daycares, hospitals, and restaurants, with an organic option available.
