Why Mosquitoes Are a Serious Problem in Crockett, TX
Houston County’s creek bottoms, pond edges, and pine forest understory hold standing water long after rain events, giving female mosquitoes ideal breeding habitat for the entire warm season — which in East Texas runs April through October. The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) and Southern house mosquito (Culex quinquefasciatus) are the two species homeowners encounter most in Crockett.
Beyond the bite, the CDC reports that mosquitoes transmit West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), and other arboviruses active in Texas. For families with backyard space, rural acreage, or small children playing outside, mosquito control is a health issue as much as a comfort issue.
Our Mosquito Control Process for Crockett Properties
Critter Gitters treats Crockett yards with Mosquito Duo Defense, which works on two fronts: fogging for the adult mosquitoes resting in your yard, and In2Care stations for the next generation. 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 spots guide for DIY steps you can take between service visits.
