Mosquito Yard Treatment with in2Care Pot Service For Houston, TX

If you call the Bayou City home, then you know that the mosquitos around here are not playing around. As a matter of fact, Houston is ranked number 3 in the most mosquito-infested cities in the country, according to The Houston Chronicle

With the impressive capability of drinking up to three times their body weight in a single blood meal, mosquitoes are formidable parasites. Like most things in Texas, our resident mosquitos seem much bigger. To combat them, you need Houston’s best mosquito treatment service.

Houston, TX Mosquito Control

An aggressive mosquito population around your home can make outdoor life unlivable when left unchecked. Throw in a few mosquito-borne viruses (called arboviruses), and you have a Texas-size problem that needs solving, and lucky for you, GreenGate Turf & Pest has you covered.

GreenGate offers various Houston, TX residential and commercial services so you and your family can return to enjoying the outdoors again. If you’re looking for the best mosquito treatment service in Houston, look no further than GreenGate Turf & Pest.

2-For-1 Mosquito Treatment Service

Like all GreenGate Turf & Pest services, we don’t attack a problem just halfway; we go for the whole enchilada. GreenGates award-winning mosquito yard treatment is a 2-for-1 program performed every 30 days, not 21 days, like most mosquito spray companies. This is because adding In2Care Trap Pots adds an extra layer of protection, prolonging our mosquito treatment’s effectiveness.

When our licensed pest technician arrives at your Houston, TX home, he will perform the two services described below.

Yard Treatment For Mosquitos

A GreenGate technician will apply a mosquito barrier spray to all the vegetation around your home and fence lines. Male mosquitos and females not ready to lay eggs will roost on landscape vegetation and suck the plant juices, making contact with the pesticide. 

Once the mosquitos come into contact with our safe for your family and pets mosquito yard treatment, the mosquito soon dies. Unlike mosquito spray companies, this is not a “fogging” program but a targeted attack on mosquitoes and the places they like to refuge.

in2Care Mosquito Trap Pots

GreenGate aggressively uses In2Care Pots, the cornerstone of our highly effective mosquito treatment for yards. Here’s how it works; 

The In2care Mosquito Trap Pot is made of durable plastic and uses water with an odor lure to attract egg-laying Aedes mosquitoes. Once inside the In2Care Trap, mosquitoes contact the specially treated gauze near the water surface and are instantly contaminated with a larvicide and a fungus.

GreenGate exploits the fact that Aedes mosquitos like to divide their eggs over multiple sites. By letting them fly out of the Trap while carrying larvicide on their legs, they will then transport and contaminate several other breeding areas around the Trap. This way, we can kill larvae in small, hard-to-find breeding sources. The mosquito also gets infected with an insect-specific fungus that kills her before she can spread the disease. 

Learn more about how mosquito pots work by watching the In2Care video below. 

Double Duty Mosquito Control

GreenGates 2-for-1 mosquito control program is simply the MOST aggressive and productive mosquito treatment for yards available. By attacking every known mosquito harborage, we work to eliminate all mosquitoes at every stage in their life cycle.

We don’t just offer mosquito repellents for yards; we also have several award-winning lawn treatment and lawn care programs here at GreenGate Turf & Pest. From lawn fertilization & weed control to lawn insecticide to home pest control, GreenGate has you covered.

Mosquito Control Service FAQ

How can you control mosquitos?

We combat mosquitos with a two-fold system. First, we place In2Care Mosquito Traps around the property. In2Care traps are designed to lure in mosquitoes, forcing them to come into contact with a biocide they take back to their breeding ground. We then apply a barrier spray using a backpack sprayer designed for precise application to shrubs, plants, fence lines, etc. The spray kills mosquitoes on contact and bonds to foliage, acting as a mosquito repellent for weeks after application.

Do mosquito control services work? 

Absolutely! The Insect Vector Control Division of the Trinidad Ministry of Health and the Mosquito Research and Control Unit of the Cayman Islands have scientifically validated the effectiveness of our mosquito control products. Efficacy validations have also been published in multiple peer-reviewed scientific journals.

How long do mosquito treatments last?

Our mosquito barrier application and In2Care bait is effective for up to four weeks.

How often do you spray for mosquitos?

We schedule our mosquito control treatments, and refresh your In2Care pots every 30 days. 

Are GreenGate's mosquito control services safe for my family and pets? 

Once the application dries (about 30 mins), our barrier spray is clear, odorless, and harmless to people and pets. In2Care pot ingredients “are not toxic to birds or mammals. We make use of a biological fungus that is only toxic to insects. The larvicide deployed in the trap specifically targets mosquito larvae and is not toxic to higher organisms in this low concentration,” according to In2Care.

How do In2Care Mosquito Traps work?

According to In2Care, “The In2Care Mosquito Station targets two life stages of the mosquito, the adults and the larvae, at the moment they pupate. Adult mosquitoes are lured to the Station and deposit eggs in the water. Inside the Station, they sit on the floater gauze and become contaminated with a slow-killing biological fungus and a larvicide. The fungus infection takes a few days to kill the mosquito and can block Dengue virus replication. In the meantime, the infected mosquito will also spread larvicide to breeding sites around the Station. Aedes mosquitoes are skip-ovipositors (laying their eggs in multiple sites) and will carry the larvicide on their legs and kill larvae in each water body they visit.”

How many In2Care Traps do I need?

Most yards need 2-3 In2Care Mosquito Traps, sold separately.

Will GreenGates mosquito control completely rid my yard of mosquitos?

Unfortunately, there is no surefire way to completely eliminate mosquitos. However, GreenGates’ effective combination of a monthly spray and the use of in2care pots will help to greatly reduce the populations of mosquitos nearby. 

How much are mosquito treatments?

Our mosquito control service provides two services for the price of one (one-time purchase of In2care Traps is required for In2Care service, sold separately).
