Fog a yard and the mosquitoes flying at that moment die. The larvae sitting in standing water do not, and within days they replace the ones you just killed. Rhino mosquito control runs $65 a month, March through October, and treats both halves of that cycle.

Larval control and adult control, on the same visit
A mosquito spends most of its life in water and only the last stretch in the air. Treating one stage without the other is why so many yards feel treated for about a week.
Every Rhino mosquito visit does three things:
- Treats standing water where mosquitoes lay larvae.
- Fogs the harborage — bushes, trees, and shaded areas where adults rest during the day.
- Places or services stations, replenishing water and re-baiting the ones already set into the nesting areas.
Source reduction is part of the conversation too. Gutters, drains, irrigation runoff, and plant saucers hold water longer than most homeowners expect.
Which mosquito you have changes the treatment
Rhino places In2Care stations, which are built for container-breeding mosquitoes. Those are the species that breed around a house rather than out in open water.
Specifically, Aedes aegypti, which spreads Zika and other viruses, and Aedes albopictus, another species common across the service area.
That distinction changes the work. Container breeders use small, close-in water sources, so the stations go where those sources are instead of being scattered around a property line.
What you can do between visits
Service does the heavy lifting, but container breeders only need a small amount of water to finish a life cycle. A few habits make each visit hold longer.
- Empty what holds water. Plant saucers, buckets, toys, tarps, and wheelbarrows refill with every rain.
- Keep gutters and drains clear. A clogged gutter is a breeding site sitting above head height.
- Watch the irrigation. Runoff pooling in a low spot is easy to miss because it shows up after the sprinklers run.
- Refresh pet bowls and birdbaths. Standing water indoors or out counts either way.
Point out the wet spots you already know about when the tech arrives. Those get treated first.
Safe around kids, pets, and pollinators
Re-entry is once the product has dried. Outdoors that depends on sunlight, and indoor areas can take longer.
For pollinators, Rhino does not treat on or near flowering plants, especially with products that are highly toxic to bees.
What to expect after the first visit
Knockdown in activity usually shows up the same day.
The larger drop comes after about a week, once the existing population has been flushed out and died off.
Products are designed to last up to 90 days. Heat shortens that, so through the hottest months Rhino uses micro-encapsulated products that break down more slowly.
And if mosquitoes come back between scheduled visits, Rhino comes back at no charge. That is the Rhino Promise, and it covers mosquito service.
Pricing and season
Mosquito service is priced on its own, so it reads the same whether you already have quarterly service or not:
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Price | $65 per month |
| Service window | Monthly, March through October |
| Buying options | Add-on to quarterly pest control you already have, or standalone mosquito-only service. Starting pest and mosquito together instead? That is the Complete package at $169 initial, then $84 monthly for both. |
| Between visits | Free return visit with a 24-hour response |
Pricing current as of August 2026. Estimates are free and quoted in writing.

Common questions about mosquito control
-
Why do I still have mosquitoes after my yard was sprayed?
Spraying alone treats the adults that are flying right now. It does nothing to the larvae sitting in standing water, so a new generation replaces the old one within days. Treating the water and the resting areas together is what breaks the cycle.
-
What attracts mosquitoes to a yard in the first place?
Standing water and shade. Gutters, drains, irrigation runoff, plant saucers, and low spots hold water long enough for larvae to develop. Shaded vegetation gives the adults a cool place to rest through the heat of the day.
-
Does mosquito treatment hurt bees?
Rhino does not treat on or near flowering plants, which is where pollinators forage. That restriction applies especially to products that are highly toxic to bees. Re-entry for people and pets is once the treated surfaces have dried.
-
How is mosquito service different from quarterly pest control?
Quarterly pest control runs every 90 days and targets ants, roaches, spiders, and similar household pests. Mosquito service runs monthly through the season and uses different products, different placement, and stations aimed at breeding sites.
-
Do I need mosquito service year-round in Texas?
No. Rhino runs mosquito service monthly from March through October, which covers the active season across Greater Houston. Starting early in the season means less established population to knock down later.
