Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, and ticks need tall grass, leaf litter, or brush to ambush a host — both of which are common features of Flatonia properties. a climate with hot summers and mild winters, growing progressively warmer and drier the further south toward the border extends the active season for both considerably.
Treatment combines a barrier spray applied to vegetation, fence lines, and other resting spots where adult mosquitoes and ticks congregate, with larvicide treatment in any standing water on the property that can't be eliminated outright. A single treatment typically provides several weeks of reduced activity, with a seasonal program recommended for consistent control.
