Licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TPCL #13381), Critter Gitters has served Palestine, Texas and nearby communities since 2006.
Mosquitoes Near Palestine & the Neches River
Palestine sits near the upper Neches River drainage basin, with numerous creek bottoms, pond edges, and low-lying areas throughout Anderson County that hold standing water long after rain events. This creates persistent mosquito breeding habitat from spring through fall. The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) — an aggressive daytime biter — is the species most frequently reported by Palestine residents.
The CDC monitors East Texas for West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) activity. For families in Palestine with backyards, rural acreage, or children playing outdoors, Mosquito Duo Defense treats both the adults resting in the yard and the places they breed.
Our Mosquito Treatment Process for Palestine Properties
Critter Gitters treats Palestine yards with Mosquito Duo Defense: fogging plus In2Care stations. On each visit we fog the shady spots where adult mosquitoes rest during the day: shrubs, fence lines, eaves and under decks. We also place In2Care stations around the yard. A mosquito that lands in a station picks up a larvicide and carries it to the water where it breeds. We’ll also point out standing water you can dump or drain, such as gutters, low spots, plant saucers and birdbaths.
Service is monthly from March through October, and Mosquito Duo Defense is added to a pest control plan rather than sold on its own. Visit our mosquito breeding site guide for DIY steps between visits.
