Effective mosquito control for Austin homes
If you're an Austin native, it's no secret that mosquitoes are a nuisance. As soon as the sun starts to set, you're in danger of getting a bite from one of these pesky bugs. But mosquitoes go beyond being a bother — giving us uncomfortable and itchy bites — they're also a health hazard that many people don't take seriously enough.
Mosquitoes can be carriers of deadly diseases that they transmit through their bites, and they're responsible for heartworm cases in dogs. From 2004 through 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 6,600 cases of human disease were revealed in Texas as a result of mosquito bites — putting the state in the top 20 percent of states for mosquito-borne illness.
Protect your family and pets from the dangers brought by mosquitoes with Stampede Pest Control's mosquito control plans. We provide prompt, long-lasting, and effective pest management in Austin for affordable rates. Give us a call now to get started.
Why mosquitoes are so hard to control
Here are some important facts worth knowing about the mosquitoes around your Austin home.
Why homeowners have such a hard time controlling mosquitoes
For Austin homeowners, mosquitoes are around every season. The weather in Texas makes for an especially large mosquito population. A mosquito's main life source is much like a human's — water. It doesn't take much for them to have the perfect habitat to lay their eggs.
Other factors that cause mosquitoes to infest your Austin home
The best way to keep mosquitoes out of your home and out of your life is to ensure you have no standing water in your home or directly outside of it. That means watching for leaks or any areas in your yard that could be collecting rainwater, and taking other proactive steps. We can perform treatments both in your backyard and inside of your home.
We target all stages of mosquitoes — not just adults
The most important part of your mosquito service is prevention. We want to make sure mosquitoes don't even have a chance to set foot in your home or yard. That's why our mosquito control services target all stages of the mosquito life cycle.
We inspect and identify
Our team of experts will conduct a thorough inspection of your property and identify all possible breeding sites. We want our customers to know they're receiving the absolute best mosquito treatment, so we take the time to fully assess your situation and create an individualized plan to treat your home.
Mosquitoes' favorite hideouts include:
- Spots with thick vegetation, such as tall grass and shrubs
- Holes in trees where stagnant water collects after rainfall or sprinklers
- Ornamental ponds with no aeration or larvae-loving fish
- Potted plants and saucers on doorways, patios, and decks
- Kids' toys left outdoors
- Animal water dishes and bird feeders
Low-impact mosquito control solutions
Fogging treatments
A fogging treatment is a pest control treatment where a pesticide is used in the air and circulated in an area. Fogging can help control a mosquito population, and recurring seasonal barrier treatments keep that population knocked down long-term.
Eco-friendly mosquito repellents at home
There are ways you can temporarily ward off mosquitoes that are available at the store, such as mosquito-repelling plants like citronella grass and rosemary (one of the ingredients we use in our organic pest control service). Keep in mind these deterrents are only temporary and do not have the power to prevent mosquitoes for long periods.
Stampede's mosquito control treatment process
We target the mosquito population around your home from every angle. Here's how our treatment works:
Barrier spray
We use a power sprayer to treat the exterior of your property. This provides a tough barrier to keep mosquitoes away from your home.
Repellent granules
We get into all the nooks and crannies of the outside of your home by applying a dust to clear out any unwanted mosquito populations that could be nesting between the brick and the ground.
Stagnant water treatment
We remove any standing water that could be a potential attractant for mosquitoes. All of these treatments are for the outside of your home — but you may also request to have us treat the inside of your home as well.

Frequently asked questions
So many different things can attract mosquitoes to humans. Different smells, temperatures, and odors can all attract mosquitoes. Even the color of your shirt can play a role. It's hard to say specifically what's attracting them to you. However, if they're breeding on or near your property, they're simply looking for food and you're their target.
The weather in Texas allows for mosquitoes to survive year-round. However, the worst months for mosquitoes in Texas are between May and November.
Animals that eat mosquitoes include bats, certain birds including ducks, and some varieties of frogs. Fun fact: dragonflies are an insect that eats mosquitoes.
You can protect yourself and your loved ones from disease-carrying mosquitoes by wearing protection, especially when going outside at night. Wear bug repellent, cover as much skin as you can, and avoid spending time around standing water or other areas that may attract mosquitoes. You can protect your pets by giving them a heartworm preventative every month.
The amount of water a mosquito needs to begin its new life cycle is very small. They only need about one teaspoon.
Mosquitoes are most active from sunset to sunrise.
