Life After Bugs offers a variety of mosquito control services including but not limited to:
Getting rid of mosquitos in your yard comes down to two basic approaches: mosquito control and mosquito suppression.
The goal of mosquito control is to kill the mosquitos already living in your yard or home, but this approach does not address any existing larvae.
The goal of mosquito suppression on the other hand is to prevent mosquitos by killing both the existing mosquitos and treating the larvae from hatching. We remove any potential place for mosquitos to lay eggs, producing a barrier around your property to keep them out.
At Life After Bugs, we believe in pest control prevention to help eliminate the problem at the source. We are strong advocates of mosquito yard treatment to control and prevent these nasty blood-sucking pests from getting you sick.
Before we can start preventing mosquitos, we must treat the ones already living in your yard.
Before we can start preventing mosquitos, we must treat existing mosquitos with a plant-based insecticide that is safe for your family and pets. We use a non-toxic mosquito spray to kill adult mosquitoes that are living in your yard. This immediately lessens the amount of frustration and discomfort you have in your yard.
Contact us to request a one-time mosquito yard treatment in Katy, Fulshear, Richmond, or Houston, Texas. Our mosquito technicians are experienced in professional mosquito control and barrier yard treatment for both residential and commercial properties.
Next, we address the areas in your yard where mosquitos try to lay their eggs.
Next, we address areas in your yard where mosquitos may try to lay their eggs or where larvae may develop. Standing water, for example, is a common breeding ground for these pests. We empty any standing water that we can and let you know if we notice any pots or other items outside that you need to watch for water pools.
In places like French drains and water systems where we can’t empty the water, we will spread non-toxic mosquito repellent to keep them from laying eggs. These products are safe for wildlife, pets, and kids, but are fatal to mosquito larvae.
Finally, we spread mosquito-repelling granules throughout the yard.
Finally, we will spread mosquito-repelling granules throughout the yard. Again, these are not harmful to pets, people, or wildlife, but they are something mosquitos do not enjoy. This keeps the mosquitos from coming to your yard and biting your family.
In addition, we will spray mosquito repellent in any tall grasses or shrubs in your yard. This is where mosquitos like to rest during the day before feeding in the dusk hours, so treating these areas will help reduce the mosquito population in your yard.
Our barrier treatments are safe for your pets and family as soon as they are dry. We do ask that you avoid the yard until the products are completely dried, but there is no risk once they are.
Our mosquito suppression treatments are safe for your family. Barrier spray products use pyrethroids, which are similar in chemical structure to the chrysanthemum flower. These are completely non-toxic and do not harm water sources, plants, or animals. We also use a garlic-based spray that has a strong, potent aroma. This is sprayed around vegetable gardens, flowering plants, and bodies of water. It will not harm bees or aquatic life but will keep the mosquitos away.
These professional products are more effective than DIY store-bought sprays because they address the source of your infestation and make your yard less appealing to mosquitos for feeding and reproduction, while also eliminating the adult mosquitos. With mosquito suppression, you can safely enjoy your yard again, free from these disease-carrying and frustrating pests.
Our humid Gulf Coast climate favors a handful of mosquito species, and each one behaves differently. Knowing which is biting your yard shapes how, and when, we treat.
Culex quinquefasciatus
The most common backyard mosquito across the Houston area and the region's primary carrier of West Nile virus. It bites mainly at dusk and after dark and breeds in stagnant, organically rich water like clogged drains, ditches, and neglected containers.
Aedes albopictus
An aggressive daytime biter recognizable by its black-and-white striped legs and body. It breeds in very small pockets of water, a bottle cap, a plant saucer, a tire, and rarely travels far from where it hatched, which makes yard-level treatment effective.
Aedes aegypti
Another container-breeding daytime biter established along the Texas Gulf Coast. It thrives close to homes and is the mosquito public-health agencies watch for Zika and dengue, so keeping standing water off your property matters.
Two things drive the Houston area's long mosquito season: standing water and heat.
Mosquito pressure on the Gulf Coast typically builds in early spring and runs through late fall, and our mild winters can stretch it even further. When it’s warm and wet, a mosquito goes from egg to biting adult in about a week to ten days, so a population can rebound fast if breeding sites go untreated.
The heavy clay soil across much of Houston, Katy, and Fort Bend County drains slowly, so low spots in the yard hold water for days after a real Gulf Coast downpour. Add in the small stuff, plant saucers, clogged gutters, tarps, toys, and forgotten buckets, and a mosquito needs only a bottle cap of standing water to breed. That is why every treatment starts with finding and knocking out those hidden breeding sites, not just spraying the grass.
Starting barrier treatments early and keeping them on a seasonal schedule is what stops the population from ever building up, rather than chasing it once the biting is already bad.
Store-bought foggers and citronella knock down whatever is flying at that moment, then wear off by the next evening.
Professional mosquito control works because it targets the whole life cycle, not just the adults in front of you. We treat the shaded, humid resting spots where adults wait out the day, then treat standing water so larvae never mature, and we return through the season so the barrier stays fresh as new mosquitoes move in from neighboring yards.
Our licensed technicians know where mosquitoes hide on a Houston-area property and use professional-grade products applied at the right rate and in the right places, which is far more effective, and longer-lasting, than a hardware-store spray. If you have been fighting mosquitoes on your own and losing, that is exactly the gap a pro closes.

On the Gulf Coast mosquito pressure typically ramps up in early spring and runs through late fall, and our mild winters mean activity can linger even longer. Because a mosquito can go from egg to biting adult in about a week to ten days when it's warm and wet, starting barrier treatments early in the season keeps the population from ever building up.
The three you'll deal with most are the southern house mosquito (the region's main West Nile virus carrier, active at dusk), the Asian tiger mosquito (a striped, aggressive daytime biter), and the yellow fever mosquito. The two Aedes species breed in tiny containers close to the house, which is exactly why yard treatment and standing-water reduction work so well here.
We treat the shaded, humid resting areas where adult mosquitoes wait out the day, dense shrubs, tall grass, under decks, and the undersides of leaves, then locate and treat standing water so larvae never reach maturity. Recurring seasonal visits keep the barrier fresh as new mosquitoes move in.
A one-time treatment is great before an outdoor event and knocks the current population down fast. For all-season relief, recurring service is what keeps mosquitoes from rebuilding, because it re-treats resting areas and breeding sites on a regular cadence through the season.
Yes. Our barrier products are safe for your family and pets once they have dried, and we use a plant-based, non-toxic option around vegetable gardens, flowering plants, and water. We just ask that you stay off treated areas until everything is completely dry.
