Mosquito Control in Dallas, TX
If you ask a Texan to name the insect they hate the most, odds are it will be the mosquito. There’s good reason for this. Mosquitoes are the cause of much itchy misery in Texas, Dallas & Fort Worth included. No other insect competes with their ability to shut down a backyard barbecue. Luckily, ABC knows exactly how to banish these summertime bloodsuckers.
Effective Mosquito Control Services
At ABC Home & Commercial, we understand that getting rid of mosquitoes can be the difference between enjoying time in your backyard and staying indoors until mosquito season is over. Once a mosquito pest control expert completes your free consultation, we will create a customized plan to fit your needs best.
ABC uses four primary methods to eliminate mosquitoes from your property:
- Locate breeding grounds to prevent eggs from hatching.
- Target mosquito resting areas with mobile misting backpacks.
- Neutralize both mature mosquitoes and larvae with specialized traps.
- Install no-hassle mister stations throughout your property.
With proper training and equipment, homeowners can usually control mosquitoes on their own, which is why we are happy to help.
ABC provides two recurring mosquito suppression programs: High Impact and In2Care®. Both programs will reduce the mosquito population, but be aware that neither will eradicate the problem completely. This is why it’s important to take additional measures to prevent potentially dangerous bites.
High Impact Suppression Program
ABC uses traditional products to repel and kill large infestations. Using a backpack blower, we treat shrubs, trees, and foliage around the home. In addition, we will inspect and treat as needed any other areas outside your home that might also provide conditions that are attractive to mosquitoes.
IN2CARE Mosquito Program®
In addition to our traditional treatments, ABC now utilizes In2Care Mosquito Control. In2Care is a device placed around your yard that attracts and impacts egg-laying mosquitoes with an insect growth regulator (IGR) that prevents eggs from developing. It spreads to other mosquitoes when the affected mosquito travels to and infects another pool of water. Eggs laid in any water with the IGR in it will not develop This form of residual mosquito control is environmentally friendly and does not involve the use of pesticides.
Our mosquito extermination experts know how to locate breeding grounds and how to tailor a solution that will work for your home and your family.

These tips can help prevent mosquitoes from making a home in your yard:

Are mosquitoes dangerous?
Most Texans consider mosquitoes a nuisance—at worst the cause of a night of intense itching. But mosquitoes are a real public health problem as they can carry serious diseases. West Nile Virus, for instance, is a mosquito-borne illness that has sickened millions around the world. Here in Texas, we have seen cases of West Nile Virus, Chikungunya, and Encephalitis—all of which are transmittable via mosquito bites—so it’s only prudent to take preventative steps to minimize the mosquito population around your home.
