How to Control Mosquitoes in Your Lawn After Heavy Rain

Mosquito Season Is Here – and Rain Makes It Worse

If you've noticed a sudden surge in mosquitoes around your home in Austin, you're not imagining things. After heavy rain, mosquito populations explode—turning your lawn into their personal breeding ground. At TOPS Pest Control, we’re here to help you take back your yard with proven mosquito control solutions tailored for Austin, Texas.

Why Mosquitoes Get Worse After Rain

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and rain creates countless places for that to happen—clogged gutters, puddles, birdbaths, plant saucers, even low spots in your lawn. Just a capful of water is enough for hundreds of mosquito larvae to hatch. Within days, those larvae become biting adults.

The Risks of Letting Mosquitoes Multiply

Aside from being a nuisance, mosquitoes can spread harmful diseases like West Nile virus and Zika. They also make it nearly impossible to enjoy your yard during peak summer evenings. The longer the water sits, the worse the infestation becomes—especially in warm, humid climates like Austin.

How TOPS Pest Control Stops Mosquitoes at the Source

At TOPS Pest Control, we don’t just spray and walk away. Our mosquito control program is designed to break the breeding cycle:

• We inspect your lawn and landscape for standing water and mosquito hotspots.

• We treat with targeted, pet-safe products that kill larvae and adult mosquitoes on contact.

• We use the In2Care system, a revolutionary solution that attracts mosquitoes, contaminates them with a larvicide, and lets them spread it to breeding areas—reducing populations without harming bees or beneficial insects.

What You Can Do Between Treatments

• Empty standing water from buckets, pots, toys, and gutters.

• Keep grass trimmed and shrubs pruned to reduce shady resting spots.

• Use mosquito-repelling plants like citronella, marigolds, and lavender around patios.
