Inspection:

• Rockwall Mosquito and Pest Control technicians start with a thorough inspection of the property to identify mosquito breeding sites, such as standing water in containers, clogged gutters, drains, and low-lying areas.

• These are chemicals that target mosquito larvae in standing water. Our mosquito professionals may apply larvicides to ponds, bird baths, and other stagnant water sources to prevent larvae from maturing into adults. This is one of the most important parts of the treatment process to stop the reproduction process.

• Fogging or spraying will be used to reduce the adult mosquito population. This will bedone with our commercial backpack sprayers. Green based option available upon request.

• IGRs disrupt the development of mosquito larvae, preventing them from maturing into breeding adults. These may be applied to standing water.

• Professionals may apply insecticides to vegetation and areas around the home to create a barrier that repels or kills adult mosquitoes that come into contact with treated surfaces.

Preventive Measures

• Professionals often advise homeowners to eliminate sources of standing water, such as:
• Emptying containers that collect water (flower pots, buckets).
• Cleaning and maintaining gutters to ensure proper drainage. Ask Rockwall Mosquito and Pest Control for a free gutter cleaning estimate.
• Filling in low spots in the yard where water collects.

• For bodies of water that cannot be eliminated (like ponds), we may recommend adding
• aeration systems or introducing mosquito-eating fish to help control larvae.

• Maintaining landscaping by trimming shrubs and keeping grass cut can reduce resting areas for adult mosquitoes.

• Ensuring that windows and doors have screens without tears or holes can help keep mosquitoes from entering the home.

• Rockwall Mosquito and Pest control highly encourages you to continue to use of EPA-approved mosquito repellents for personal protection when spending time outdoors. Especially if you are considered a high risk for mosquito bites.

• Please ask Rockwall Mosquito and Pest Control any questions you may have. Understanding peak mosquito breeding times and behaviors along with understanding how to take preventive measures are all keys to success. Given each customer situation is unique, it's important to follow any preventive instructions provided to you by your technician.

• Rockwall Mosquito and Pest Control highly recommends regular mosquito control treatments to keep populations low throughout the warmer months. It's important to start treatment in early March before larvae has the opportunity to start hatching. Please trust us with our scheduling recommendations. It's much easier to control mosquito populations if you hit them hard at the beginning of the season.

Many pest control companies employ an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, which combines these treatment and preventive measures with ongoing monitoring and assessment to create a comprehensive mosquito control plan tailored to the specific environment and needs of the property.

By combining these treatment and preventive strategies, pest control professionals can effectively reduce mosquito populations and minimize the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.
