Mosquito Control

Mosquito Control in Missouri City

Missouri City sprays the public right-of-way. Nobody sprays your yard. That gap is where they breed and where we treat.

Getting eaten alive in your own backyard? The city sprays the public streets on Thursday nights, but never your property, and the county only sprays when a virus turns up. Yellow Rose treats the standing water and shady spots in your yard, the gutters, plant saucers and low spots, where the mosquitoes are breeding.

What the city spray does and does not do

Missouri City's contractor runs an ultra-low-volume truck along public streets on Thursday nights, roughly 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM, May through the first week of November. It covers roads and public drainage. It does not enter private yards, and Fort Bend County does not spray on request. The mosquitoes breeding in your own yard never get touched.

Where they breed

Mosquitoes, the main West Nile carrier here, need only a bottle cap of standing water. We find and treat the sources on your property rather than fogging once and hoping.

  • Clogged gutters and downspout splash zones
  • Plant saucers, bird baths, tarps and toys
  • Low spots that hold water after Gulf Coast rain
  • Dense shrubs and ground cover where adults rest by day

Questions

Mosquito control questions

The city already sprays. Why would I pay for treatment?
The city truck sprays public streets on Thursday nights, not private property, and Fort Bend County only sprays in response to a virus detection. The standing water breeding mosquitoes in your own yard is never treated. That is the gap we fill.
When is mosquito season here?
On the upper Gulf Coast it runs roughly March through November, peaking in the warm, wet months. Fort Bend County has confirmed West Nile in local mosquitoes, so treatment through the season matters.
How often do you treat?
Most yards do best on a recurring cycle through the season, since new standing water appears after every rain. We will set a cadence to your property on the inspection.
