Mosquito Control Services in Houston
Mosquitoes aren't just a nuisance in Houston — they're a year-round health risk. Houston's warm, humid climate means mosquito season never really ends, and populations here can carry West Nile virus, Zika, and other diseases. ABC's mosquito suppression program uses an environmentally friendly Mosquito Larvicide Station (MLS) and CoastalMister stations to keep populations controlled all season long — so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces again. For mosquito problems, ABC offers same-day service Monday through Friday when you book online before 1pm.
How ABC Eliminates Mosquitoes in Houston
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.
Houston’s heat and humidity make DIY mosquito control an ongoing battle — ABC’s professional treatments deliver lasting results that home remedies can’t match.
Locating breeding grounds to prevent eggs from hatching
One reason that mosquito control is so tricky is that these insects reproduce quickly. For example, one female can lay up to 300 eggs at a time, and eggs take only 24 to 48 hours to hatch into larvae. That’s why the most critical first step in getting rid of mosquitoes is to find any eggs on your property. Our mosquito exterminator experts survey your yard to locate mosquito breeding grounds and lay out bait to neutralize eggs and larvae.
Depending on the type of mosquitoes in your yard, our experts will also:
- Check your property for standing water that may have accumulated in vases, pet bowls, buckets, birdbaths, and other containers which provide a haven for mosquitoes to reproduce.
- Remove standing water. Our pest control experts will ensure that no gaps exist in water storage containers, such as rainwater collection barrels, so mosquitoes cannot get inside and lay eggs.
Targeting mosquito resting areas with mobile misting backpacks
Many mosquito species spend the daytime resting in grass and shrubs. Our highly-skilled pest control specialists use backpack misters to spread a mosquito-repelling fog purging juvenile and adult mosquitoes from your yard.
Neutralizing both mature mosquitoes and larvae with specialized traps
Our traps work through selective targeting to control mosquitoes precisely. The traps are friendly to bees and other pollinators. Our mosquito extermination experts will put traps in your yard, attracting mosquitoes ready to lay eggs. When a mosquito lands on the trap and begins to deposit its eggs, a larvicide travels to the eggs and keeps them from maturing, then a fungus attaches itself to the egg-laying mosquito and kills it in a few days too.
Before the adult mosquito dies, it travels to many other places within a 4,000-square-foot radius of your Mosquito Larvicide Station. It lays many more eggs, but the fungus prevents larvae (in all these places) from growing. The best long-term solution to managing mosquitoes on your property is through the automatic application of mosquito control products.
If customers choose this method, our mosquito service experts will set up CoastalMister™ stations throughout your yard. These inconspicuous spraying nozzles release a fine mist of diluted insecticide at multiple pre-planned times of the day. The fog is toxic to mosquitoes, but after it dries (one or two hours later), your yard is entirely safe for you, your children, and your pets.
You can adjust the release of the mist to fit your need; you can emit more during peak mosquito season and less on days with less mosquito activity. As you can see, ABC pest control specialists have many plans in place to help you get the mosquitoes around your home under control. Once you contact us, we’ll send an ABC mosquito service expert to your home and determine the best course of action to address your problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
ABC offers same-day mosquito control service Monday through Friday when you book online before 1pm. Visit our estimate page to book instantly, or call us at (281) 730-9500. For next-day appointments, we can typically get someone out within 1-2 business days.
Most Houston homeowners on ABC’s mosquito program receive treatments every 30 days during peak season (March through December). Houston’s climate means mosquitoes can be active outside those months too, so year-round plans are also available.
It is not unusual to see an increase in mosquito activity as we apply treatments which drive these pests out of their normal hiding spots. The good news is that this increase is temporary. If you do not experience a decrease in pests after 7-10 days, contact ABC, and we will send a technician back to your property. Any return visits by our pest control specialists after the initial 7-10 days and within the first 30 days are of no cost to you.
Houston’s warm climate means mosquitoes can be active year-round, but peak season runs from April through October. Warm winters mean populations rarely die off completely, so early spring treatments are recommended before numbers build up.
Yes. ABC’s mosquito treatments use EPA-approved products applied at diluted concentrations. After the mist dries — typically within one to two hours — your yard is completely safe for children and pets. Our technicians will advise you on any specific precautions before treatment.
Mosquito control pricing in Houston depends on your property size and treatment area. ABC offers mosquito suppression plans with recurring monthly treatments during peak season — Houston’s climate means one-time treatments rarely provide lasting results.
