Why Mosquito & Tick Control Matters After Heavy Rain in OKC
🦟🌧️ Why You Should Get Ahead of Mosquitoes and Ticks—Especially After All This Rain
If you’ve been watching the weather, you already know Oklahoma has experienced above-average rainfall this season. While rain nourishes your lawn and garden, it also creates the perfect conditions for pests—especially mosquitoes and ticks—to thrive.
These aren’t just annoying backyard invaders—they’re disease carriers. And once they show up in numbers, they’re much harder to get rid of.
🦟 The Mosquito Problem: It Starts Small
It only takes a bottle cap of standing water for mosquitoes to start breeding. That means puddles, clogged gutters, flowerpots, and even toys left in the yard can become mosquito nurseries. After heavy rain, these water sources multiply fast.
Mosquitoes don’t just ruin your time outdoors—they can carry West Nile virus, Zika, and other dangerous diseases.
🕷️ Ticks Thrive in Wet, Overgrown Areas
Ticks love moisture and shady vegetation, making untrimmed lawns, damp wood piles, and leaf debris perfect hiding spots. They attach to pets, kids, and unsuspecting homeowners—and some carry Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
The more it rains, the more they spread.
