Warmer weather means more time outside—and unfortunately, more mosquitoes. In Texas, mosquitoes aren’t just a backyard nuisance—they’re a real threat, capable of spreading serious illnesses like West Nile, Zika, and Dengue. That’s why mosquito prevention matters.
At DFX Environmental, we help families and businesses across San Antonio, Spring Branch, and Central Texas enjoy the outdoors without the buzz (and the bites). Here’s how you can reduce mosquito activity around your property—and how our mosquito control services can help.
How to Prevent Mosquitoes Around Your Home
You don’t need a truckload of bug spray to keep mosquitoes away. Here are some easy, effective ways to make your space less welcoming to mosquitoes this spring:
1. Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water—no water, no mosquitoes. Be sure to check:
-
Gutters and downspouts
-
Kiddie pools, birdbaths, and dog bowls
-
Flowerpots, wheelbarrows, and buckets
-
Low-lying areas that collect rain
A weekly walkthrough of your yard can make a big difference.
2. Keep Your Yard Tidy
Tall grass, overgrown shrubs, and leaf piles are perfect mosquito hiding spots. Keep everything trimmed back, and consider adding natural deterrents like citronella, lavender, or marigolds to your garden.
3. Use Fans & Screens
Mosquitoes are weak fliers. Setting up fans on patios or screened-in areas can help push them away and keep your space breezy and bug-free.
4. Double Down on Protection
Use EPA-approved mosquito repellents when outdoors, and make sure all window and door screens are in good condition to keep bugs out.
Even with your best efforts, sometimes mosquitoes still find a way in. That’s where we come in.
Our Solution: In2Care Mosquito Control System
At DFX Environmental, we use a modern, eco-friendly system that goes way beyond a quick spray. It’s called In2Care, and it’s one of the most effective mosquito treatments available in Texas.
How In2Care Works:
-
Lures mosquitoes to discreet stations using an odor they can’t resist
-
Coats them with a larvicide and fungus that stops disease spread and kills them slowly
-
Spreads the larvicide to nearby breeding sites, eliminating larvae before they grow
This is targeted, proactive, and long-lasting mosquito control—without fogging the whole yard or harming pollinators like bees.
Why Customers Love It:
-
Safe for pets, kids, and beneficial insects
-
Each station covers up to 4,000 sq ft for 6+ weeks
-
Great for homes, schools, parks, and businesses
