Why Mosquitoes Are Heavy in Huntsville, TX
Huntsville sits between Lake Livingston to the east and the Sam Houston National Forest to the north and west — two major sources of standing water, creek drainage, and wooded shade that sustain massive mosquito populations from spring through fall. Neighborhoods backing up to forest edges and properties near drainage ditches see the highest mosquito pressure in Walker County.
The CDC identifies Walker County as an active West Nile virus surveillance area. Tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus), which are aggressive daytime biters, are increasingly common around Huntsville’s residential neighborhoods. That is why Mosquito Duo Defense treats both the adults resting in your yard and the places they breed.
Mosquito Treatment for Huntsville Yards & Properties
Our Huntsville mosquito control program is 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 guide to mosquito breeding spots in East Texas for DIY elimination steps between visits.
