Mosquito Control in Austin, TX

Reclaim Your Austin Backyard From Mosquitoes

Austin's long, warm mosquito season stretches from March through November, and in mild winters, mosquito activity may never fully cease. The city's network of creeks, greenbelts, and retention ponds creates ideal breeding habitat within flight range of nearly every residential neighborhood. Species like the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) are aggressive daytime biters that breed in containers as small as a bottle cap, making them particularly challenging to control in suburban environments where birdbaths, plant saucers, gutters, and children's toys collect standing water.

Beyond the itchy bites that ruin outdoor gatherings, Austin-area mosquitoes carry real health risks. West Nile virus has been detected in Travis County mosquito pools in recent years, and Zika and chikungunya viruses remain concerns for public health officials monitoring the region. Professional mosquito management isn't just about comfort — it's about protecting your family from vector-borne diseases that circulate through our local mosquito populations.

Lasso Pest Control's mosquito program is designed specifically for Central Texas conditions. We combine barrier spray applications that kill adult mosquitoes on contact with targeted larvicide treatments that prevent the next generation from hatching. The result is a dramatic reduction in mosquito activity that our customers consistently describe as transformative for how they use their patios, decks, pools, and backyard entertaining areas.

How Our Mosquito Treatment Works

Our barrier spray is applied to the underside of foliage, shaded areas beneath decks and porches, fence lines, and other resting sites where mosquitoes shelter during the hottest hours of the day. The residual product continues killing mosquitoes that land on treated surfaces for 21 to 30 days, providing weeks of relief between treatments. We treat approximately every three weeks during peak season to maintain continuous protection without interruption.

Larvicide treatment is equally important. Our technicians identify and treat every standing water source on your property that cannot be eliminated — including French drains, catch basins, tree holes, and ornamental water features. We apply biological larvicides containing Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), a naturally occurring bacterium that kills mosquito larvae without harming fish, birds, pets, or beneficial insects. By breaking the breeding cycle at the larval stage, we prevent thousands of future mosquitoes from ever taking flight on your property.
