Mosquito Control in Bixby

Bixby sits on the Arkansas River just south of Tulsa, and much of the land around it is river-bottom farmland, sod fields and creeks. Low ground holds water after spring and summer storms, and retention ponds, irrigation and backyard pools add more. For many Bixby families, mosquitoes are the pest they notice first.

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and even a bottle cap's worth is enough. In summer heat they can go from egg to biting adult in about a week. Our mosquito control treats the places they breed and rest, like shrubs, shady fence lines and the undersides of decks, instead of just spraying the air.

Between treatments, a few habits help:

  • Empty birdbaths, planter saucers and toys after every rain
  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear
  • Turn over or cover kiddie pools, buckets and wheelbarrows
  • Keep grass and shrubs trimmed so mosquitoes have fewer shady places to rest

Other Pests Along the River

The same moist soil that breeds mosquitoes suits subterranean termites, which need moisture to survive and travel into homes through mud tubes along the foundation. Ants follow the water too, and fire ant mounds and odorous house ants are common in Bixby lawns and kitchens. See termite control and ant control.

Neighborhoods built on former farm fields share a border with the fields that are left. Mice move in from those edges as the weather cools, and moles and gophers tunnel into well-watered lawns looking for grubs and roots. See mole and gopher removal.

Bixby Pest Control FAQs

When does mosquito season start in Bixby?

Mosquitoes become active once spring temperatures stay warm, and they usually stay active until the first hard frost. How long the season runs changes from year to year with temperature and rain.

Why are there more mosquitoes after it rains?

Rain fills low spots, gutters, planters and anything else that holds water, and Bixby's river-bottom ground drains slowly. Eggs laid in that water can become adults in about a week, so dump standing water after each storm.

Do termites live in Bixby?

Yes. Subterranean termites are found across the Tulsa area and favor moist soil like the ground near the Arkansas River. Mud tubes on the foundation and discarded wings near windows are the signs to watch for; see our ants vs. termites guide.

What are the raised tunnels in my lawn?

Raised ridges are usually moles tunneling for grubs and worms. Fan-shaped mounds of loose dirt usually mean gophers. See mole and gopher removal.
