🦟 August in the Brazos Valley: The heat is still hanging around like that one relative who overstays their welcome, the evenings are sticky, and mosquitoes are working overtime.

Unfortunately, late summer is also when West Nile virus risk typically increases across Texas.

West Nile is spread through a bird-to-mosquito cycle. Certain mosquitoes—particularly the southern house mosquito—pick up the virus from infected birds and can transmit it to people through their bites.

Most infected people never experience symptoms. About 1 in 5 may develop fever, headaches, body aches, joint pain, or fatigue. Fewer than 1% develop a serious illness affecting the brain or nervous system—but those cases can be life-changing.

Why does the risk rise now?

By late July and August, the virus has had time to circulate among local bird and mosquito populations. Warm nights also speed up mosquito development, while standing water provides ideal breeding sites.

A few practical ways to protect your family:

🪣 Dump standing water every few days—including water in flowerpot saucers, birdbaths, toys, clogged gutters, and low spots.

🧴 Use an EPA-registered repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

👕 Wear long sleeves and pants when possible, especially from dusk through early morning.

🏠 Repair damaged window and door screens.

🌿 Keep vegetation maintained and consider professional mosquito control during peak season.

At Venus Pest Company, we inspect for breeding sites, treat standing water that cannot be eliminated with Mosquito Dunks, and apply monthly barrier treatments to the vegetation and shaded areas where adult mosquitoes rest.

Mosquito control isn’t magic—it’s biology plus consistent work. With regular treatments and good source reduction, we typically achieve an 85% or greater reduction in mosquito bites for approximately three weeks following treatment.

The short answer is no, no they are not effective.

Unfortunately, the science behind ultrasonic pest repellers is ultra-shaky. Seems like an attractive idea though, right? Just plug a charger-sized device emitting undetectable sound into the wall, wait about 2 weeks, then BAM, your garage oasis is insect and rodent free without the use of chemical p...
