Mosquito Control, Richmond

Mosquito Control in Richmond, Texas

Richmond sits on the Brazos River's west bank, which crested at a record during Harvey, and the standing floodwater it leaves behind is prime mosquito breeding ground.

Getting eaten alive in your own Richmond yard? Richmond sits on the Brazos River, which floods the bottoms on a regular basis and crested at a record during Hurricane Harvey. Fort Bend County runs mosquito surveillance only, with no spraying on request, so the standing water that regularly collects on private property goes untreated unless we handle it.

The Brazos leaves standing water behind

Richmond's low-lying position on the Brazos River means floodwater does not simply drain away; it leaves standing pools across yards and low ground for days or weeks, exactly the breeding window mosquitoes need. The river crested at a record height during Harvey, and smaller flood events happen far more often than that.

A county program that will not spray your yard

Fort Bend County runs mosquito surveillance at dozens of monitoring sites but does not spray private property on request, even after flooding. That leaves the standing water on your own lot as a private matter. We find and treat those breeding sources directly.
