Mosquito Populations Surge Across Texas: Dr. Green Services Urges Residents to Take Action
DALLAS, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With recent rainfall in parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area and temperatures climbing rapidly, Dr. Green Services, a trusted provider of Dallas mosquito control, is sounding the alarm on an escalating mosquito surge across the state. From residential neighborhoods in Dallas and Fort Worth to rural areas and suburbs like Frisco and McKinney, mosquito populations are growing quickly—bringing not only discomfort but also serious health risks.
"Texans need to understand that mosquitoes are more than a backyard nuisance. They are vectors for serious diseases like West Nile virus, dengue fever, and other mosquito-borne illnesses that have a growing footprint in our state," said James Tatum, Director of Operations at Dr. Green Services.
According to Dr. Green's field reports, the perfect storm of moist conditions and consistent warmth is resulting in higher-than-usual hatch rates for mosquito eggs. Standing water—even just a tablespoon—can quickly become a breeding ground for hundreds of mosquitoes.
Why This Matters:
Mosquitoes are known to transmit dangerous viruses that can lead to severe health outcomes, especially among vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. In 2024 alone, Texas reported over 170 confirmed cases of mosquito-borne illness, a number expected to rise if intervention isn't prioritized.
James Tatum's Key Advice:
- Eliminate Water: Empty anything that holds standing water—including flowerpots, clogged gutters, birdbaths, and children's toys.
- Use Protection: Apply EPA-approved mosquito repellents and wear long sleeves and pants during peak mosquito hours (dawn and dusk).
- Maintain Barriers: Repair torn screens and keep doors and windows sealed.
- Seek Professional Help: Dr. Green's mosquito spraying service combines targeted barrier sprays and larvicide treatments tailored to Texas environments.
"DIY solutions may offer temporary relief, but mosquitoes are persistent," added Tatum. "Our Texas mosquito treatment program is built on decades of expertise in lawn and pest control. It's the most effective, long-term defense."
