What each option costs

Four mosquito service scenarios in East Texas.

Piney Woods mosquitoes are relentless from April to October. What "mosquito service" should cost depends on whether you want event coverage, seasonal peace of mind, or the best long-term math — Yard Pass. Here's what each option runs.

Johnnie's Yard Pass member rate

Add-on for active SPOTGuard members

Best value

$60

per treatment · Yard Pass $8/mo

The best mosquito math in East Texas — if you're already on any SPOTGuard plan, adding Johnnie's Yard Pass at $8/mo drops mosquito treatments from $120 to $60 per visit. Most homeowners treat 6–8 times May through October, so Yard Pass pays for itself the second treatment of the season.

  • Member rate: $60 per treatment (vs $120 standard)
  • $8/mo Yard Pass fee added to your SPOTGuard billing
  • Also unlocks $50 off Red Army lawn work + mole + gutter perks
  • Requires an active SPOTGuard plan (any tier)

In-town monthly plan

Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Diboll

$69

per month · seasonal auto-schedule

For homeowners not on a full SPOTGuard plan yet. Standalone recurring mosquito treatment on a monthly cadence — we auto-schedule during mosquito season (typically April through October in the Piney Woods), and pause the billing during our two lowest-pressure months.

  • Barrier treatment + standing-water evaluation
  • In-and-out visits, no need to be home
  • Family + pet-safe drying time (~30 min)
  • Cancel anytime, no seasonal contract

Lakefront + high-pressure

Lake Sam Rayburn, Livingston, Onalaska

$89–$110

per month · heavier chemistry

Waterfront properties see 3–5× the mosquito pressure of a typical Lufkin yard. Aedes and Culex breed constantly in shoreline vegetation and standing dock water. Lakefront treatment uses a heavier residual and covers more square footage — same schedule, higher price to reflect the actual scope.

  • Higher-residual barrier chemistry
  • Waterline + shoreline vegetation focus
  • Dock and boathouse exterior perimeter
  • Optional in-2-out-2 dry-time messaging service

One-time event treatment

Wedding, party, family gathering

$120–$180

one visit · applied 24–48 hrs before event

Hosting a wedding, graduation, or 4th of July outside? Book a one-time application 24–48 hours before the event. We treat the yard, foundation perimeter, and any wooded edges where mosquitoes rest during the day, so the space is enjoyable for 5–10 days after treatment.

  • Applied 24–48 hours before the event
  • Full yard + wooded-edge coverage
  • 5–10 days of relief (weather dependent)
  • Not a substitute for ongoing control

Yard Pass is the runaway favorite — half the standard rate for anyone already on SPOTGuard. See the Yard Pass page or the full mosquito service page.

What moves the number

Five factors that shift a real mosquito quote.

Yard size + landscaping density

Mosquito treatment prices by square footage of covered outdoor space, not home size. A 1/4-acre lot with mature trees, hedges, and mulched beds has 3–4x the mosquito harborage of a 1/4-acre lot with mown grass. We measure treatment zones on the inspection.

Standing water proximity

If you're within 300 feet of a creek, drainage ditch, retention pond, or lake shoreline, expect higher baseline pressure — and either a heavier initial treatment or a more frequent schedule. We also identify and eliminate on-property standing water at the inspection.

Chemistry choice — barrier vs. In2Care

Standard barrier spray covers ~30 days and knocks down what's flying. In2Care targeted stations (a slower kill that spreads through the population) cost more upfront but give heavier reduction. Some homeowners run both; most just barrier-spray monthly.

Drive time from Lufkin

Lake Sam Rayburn, Groveton and Apple Springs pricing carries a small drive-time adjustment on top of the heavier chemistry — it's a few dollars per treatment, and it's on the quote in writing.

One-time vs. recurring

A single event treatment costs $120–$180. That same treatment as part of a monthly plan is $69/mo in-town or $60 on Yard Pass. If you're mosquito-treating more than twice in a season, a recurring plan almost always beats one-off pricing.

Yard Pass member savings vs standard mosquito rate

We treat Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles species — all three carry disease risk and all three breed in East Texas. Consistent monthly barrier treatment breaks the breeding cycle; one-off event treatments knock them down but don't stop the next hatch.

The best mosquito math

Johnnie's Yard Pass — $8/mo for a member mosquito rate.

If you're already on any SPOTGuard plan, Yard Pass drops your mosquito treatments from $120 to $60 — plus lawn, mole and gutter perks. It pays for itself in one treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on mosquito pricing.

Do you offer a mosquito-only plan without SPOTGuard?
Yes — standalone monthly mosquito service runs $69/mo in-town or $89–$110/mo on the lake. If you'd prefer the deeper member savings, add Johnnie's Yard Pass ($8/mo) to any SPOTGuard tier — mosquito drops to $60 per treatment, plus you get lawn/mole/gutter perks.
Are your mosquito treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use synthetic pyrethroid-based chemistry (the same active-ingredient family cleared for use in schools and daycare centers) applied at label-legal rates. Dry time is roughly 30 minutes — after that, kids and pets are cleared to enjoy the yard again. Our technicians are all TDCA-licensed applicators.
How long does one treatment last?
About 30 days on average — longer in dry weather, shorter after heavy rain. That's why the standard cadence is monthly, and why lakefront properties on higher-humidity lots sometimes go to a 21-day cycle during peak summer.
Do I need to be home for the treatment?
No. Mosquito treatments are exterior-only. As long as gates are unlocked and any pets are inside for the 30-minute drying window, we can treat while you're at work. You get a service note delivered to your phone when we finish.
What months should I have mosquito service?
For most East Texas homes, April through October — that's when the mosquito species we deal with are breeding. Lakefront and heavy-vegetation properties often go year-round with a lighter winter cadence. We'll recommend a schedule during the inspection based on your specific yard.
Can I combine mosquito service with SPOTGuard pest control?
Yes, three ways: (1) Yard Pass add-on at $8/mo for member mosquito pricing, (2) SPOTGuard Defense Pro+ at $109/mo which bundles pest + termite + Yard Pass-ready coverage, or (3) both services billed separately month to month. See the plans page for the math on each.
