Highland Park Mosquito Misting Systems

Highland Park, Texas is one of the most desirable communities in Dallas County. Tree-lined streets, manicured estates, and exceptional outdoor living spaces define this affluent enclave 4 miles north of downtown Dallas. From spring through fall, mosquitoes turn Highland Park backyards, pools, and patios into no-go zones. Texas Mosquito Control has been protecting Highland Park families since 2003 with custom-designed automated misting systems.

The town of Highland Park is an American Community Making a Difference. It is located between the Dallas North Tollway and U.S. Route 75. Enjoy a walk along the Katy Trail, head over to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, or soar at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Dallas Love Field. Highland Park Village, the oldest outdoor mall in the U.S., is one of the best shopping spots in Big D. We offer iMistAway, the revolutionary internet-based monitoring module for the Gen 1.3 and Gen III series misting systems.

Why Highland Park Homeowners Need Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes in the Dallas area become active when temperatures climb above 50 degrees — in DFW, that means March through November, with peak activity from June through September. Highland Park’s proximity to Turtle Creek and Bachman Creek creates ideal mosquito breeding habitat: standing water in low-lying areas, decorative ponds, and dense tree canopy that retains moisture.

West Nile Virus is an annual health concern in Dallas County. The Dallas County Health and Human Services department monitors mosquito populations throughout summer, and the Turtle Creek corridor consistently shows elevated Culex mosquito activity. The best defense is a properly maintained automated misting system that runs before dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.

Highland Park Mosquito Season

March-April: Mosquitoes emerge once temperatures clear 50 degrees F. Breeding begins in Turtle Creek low-lying areas and ornamental water features throughout the neighborhood.

May-June: Activity increases rapidly. Aedes aegypti — the primary West Nile carrier — begins active feeding around pools and outdoor seating areas.

July-August: Peak season. Dallas County Health issues West Nile advisories; Culex populations reach maximum levels along the creek corridor.

September-October: Activity remains high through DFW’s warm fall. Systems typically continue running through the first frost.

November: First hard freeze ends the active season. We schedule winter system maintenance and inspection during this period.
