Mosquitoes aren't just a nuisance, they're a health risk.
West Nile Virus is active in Texas every year, and mosquitoes carrying it are common throughout West Texas. Bug Tech’s mosquito control programs treat the areas where mosquitoes rest and breed, dramatically reducing the population around your home or business so you can actually use your outdoor space.Get a quote

Mosquitoes breed fast and bite faster.
A single female mosquito can lay up to 200 eggs at a time — in as little as a bottle cap of standing water. In West Texas, where a good rain can leave temporary standing water in gutters, landscaping, low spots, and containers throughout a yard, mosquito populations can explode rapidly after precipitation events.
Mosquitoes don’t just make outdoor time miserable. In Texas, West Nile Virus is a genuine concern — the state regularly reports cases, and the mosquito species that carries it is widespread throughout our service area. Protecting your family and guests from mosquito bites is protection from the diseases they transmit.
Standard bug sprays and citronella candles manage a few insects at arm’s length. They don’t address the population. Barrier spray treatment eliminates the mosquitoes resting in your vegetation and around your property, reducing the population at the source rather than defending against each individual insect.

How It Works
Two-part protection — where they rest and where they breed.
Barrier Spray Treatment
Mosquitoes spend most of their time resting in vegetation — shrubs, tall grass, ground cover, the underside of leaves, around eaves and fence lines — waiting for a host to pass by. Barrier spray treatment applies an EPA-registered product to these harborage areas, eliminating the resting mosquito population and leaving a residual that continues working between treatments. Most clients see a dramatic reduction in mosquito activity within 24 hours of treatment.
Larvicide Treatment
Eliminating adult mosquitoes is only part of the equation. Standing water in your yard — gutters, birdbaths, low spots, drainage areas, decorative ponds, plant saucers — are active breeding sites. We apply a larvicide treatment to standing water sources that can’t be removed or drained, killing mosquito larvae before they develop into biting adults. This breaks the breeding cycle and reduces future generations.
The most effective mosquito control addresses both the current adult population and the next generation. Barrier spray handles today’s mosquitoes. Larvicide handles tomorrow’s.
Service Options
Programs and one-time treatments we offer both.
Recurring Mosquito Program
We apply scheduled treatments every 21 days or monthly to maintain a consistent protective barrier throughout the peak activity season. This program is the most effective way to suppress populations across spring, summer, and fall, especially when started early before breeding peaks.
One-Time Treatment
This specialized service provides a fast, temporary reduction in mosquito activity right before your next major outdoor gathering. Typically scheduled 24 to 48 hours prior to weddings, graduations, or backyard parties, it ensures your guests enjoy the event comfortably.
Commercial & Property Treatment
We design custom mosquito management plans for restaurants with outdoor seating, hotels with pool areas, apartment complexes, and public parks. Our team develops a reliable treatment schedule matched precisely to your property’s layout and daily guest activity level.

Quick answers to
common questions.
How soon will I notice a difference after treatment?
Most customers see a significant reduction in mosquito activity within 24 hours. The residual effect of the barrier spray continues working for several weeks, though rain and weather can reduce the duration.
How often should mosquito treatments be scheduled?
Every 21 days to monthly during active mosquito season (typically April through October in West Texas) for a recurring program. One-time treatments can be scheduled as needed for events or occasional flare-ups.
Is the treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes, once dry. We’ll advise on a brief re-entry period after treatment — typically 30 to 60 minutes — while the product dries. Once dry, treated areas are safe for children and pets.
What about bees and pollinators?
We treat vegetation when pollinators are least active — typically early morning or evening — and focus treatment on harborage areas and leaf undersides rather than flowering plants. If you have beehives or specific pollinator concerns on your property, let us know when you book so we can factor it into the treatment approach.
Does rain wash away the treatment?
Rain within 24 hours of treatment can reduce the effectiveness of the barrier spray. If a significant rain event occurs shortly after a scheduled treatment, we’ll assess and reschedule a touchup as needed.
Can you treat for a backyard event?
Yes, event treatments are one of our most common requests. We recommend scheduling treatment 24 to 48 hours before the event for best results. Call us as soon as you’re planning so we can get on the schedule.
Do you treat commercial properties?
Yes. Restaurants with outdoor seating, hotel pool areas, apartment complexes, parks, and commercial outdoor spaces. We’ll develop a program matched to your property and activity schedule.
