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 Tarpley properties. a humid subtropical climate in the Hill Country transitioning to a warmer, semi-arid climate farther south toward the Rio Grande Valley extends the active season for both considerably.
Mosquito and tick control here is about disrupting the life cycle at multiple points: larvicide in standing water stops mosquito breeding before it starts, and a vegetation barrier spray targets adult mosquitoes and ticks where they rest during the day. Seasonal retreatment keeps protection consistent through the warm months.
