Weather extremes — heat waves, freeze events, flooding — change the pest pressure on Lewisville properties in ways that calendar-based treatment programs miss.
HOA common areas and concentrated breeding habitat
HOA-managed common areas in Lewisville master-planned communities often host the most productive mosquito breeding habitat — ornamental ponds, drainage detention, irrigated landscaping. Individual residential treatment fights uphill against community-level pressure.
Field experience across Lewisville properties consistently confirms this pattern matters more than statewide averages suggest.
Rain barrels and fine mesh overflow screening
Rain barrels installed for irrigation water collection breed mosquitoes when overflow tubes lack fine mesh screening. The screening detail differs from coarser screens that exclude only larger insects.
This is one of the harder issues to catch early without a trained eye on the property.
ULV cold fog droplet size and foliage penetration
ULV cold fog produces 5-25 micron droplets that penetrate dense foliage where mosquitoes rest during daylight hours. Thermal foggers and consumer products produce larger droplets that settle before reaching resting harborage.
Most Lewisville homeowners discover this only after damage is visible. Earlier inspection changes that calculus.
The 5-7 day mosquito development window
A walk-around water audit after each Lewisville rain event identifies new breeding sources within the 5-7 day mosquito development window. Eliminating water before larvae mature prevents adult emergence and treatment need.
Detection at this stage gives treatment options that aren't available once activity has progressed.
