Reasons to Spring Into Action With Mosquito and Tick Control This Spring

Spring has officially sprung. Have you thought about your seasonal mosquito and tick control yet?

While it’s true we want to avoid mosquitoes due to their intense level of annoyance, and ticks are downright disgusting, there are more reasons to treat them. Both these dreaded and gross backyard pests are capable of transmitting potentially dangerous diseases. One mosquito or tick bite can result in a lifelong affliction. Texas ranked first for West Nile virus infections in 2024, clocking 176 confirmed cases; 800 mosquito samples tested positive for Wes Nile in 2024, spanning more than 20 counties.

Austin Tick Control, Early Action is Best

A successful springtime tick emergence is key to their continuing life cycle. In the spring, adult ticks will emerge in search of a blood meal so they can lay their eggs, having mated late last year. Tick eggs that were laid before winter will hatch in the spring, as well. And when those tiny ticks start questing, their bites can really pack a negative punch. Early on, larval ticks feed on available food sources, such as ground mammals and birds. Problem is, some of those first blood hosts are carriers of disease pathogens. As these sated larval ticks grown into their larval stage, they might well be infected with Lyme disease, babesiosis, or the potentially fatal Powassan virus. If you want to stop nymph ticks from their voracious, potentially harmful feeding in the spring, you must treat in late winter or very early springtime .

Austin Mosquito Control, Prevent a Backyard Mosquito Apocalypse

Mosquitoes also live well in our part of the world. Austin’s natural environment and weather are both ideal for breeding and breed they will! One female mosquito can produce up to 500 offspring in her life. Add to that it only takes seven to 10 days for a mosquito to hatch and become an adult with adequate sustenance. What we’re saying is this – mosquitoes will get out of hand early on if you let them. And it can be more difficult to reel them in if left to proliferate early in the springtime. Mosquito Squad of Austin urges you to treat mosquitoes as early as possible to get ahead of possible late spring and summer influx of swarms .
