Mosquito control pricing in Austin is confusing because companies rarely publish it. This is a straight answer, with the real 2026 numbers, so you can compare options before anyone comes to your door.
There are four common ways to handle mosquitoes in Central Texas, and they cost very different amounts over a season.
1. Spray services (barrier treatment)
The most advertised option. A technician sprays a pesticide barrier on your shrubs and yard edges every 3 to 4 weeks.
- Typical price in Austin: $80 to $120 per visit, or roughly $60 to $90 per visit on a season contract.
- Season cost (March to November): about $600 to $1,000.
- The catch: it kills on contact and wears off in 2 to 4 weeks, so you pay again every month. It also kills bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, and does nothing to reduce the breeding population.
2. CO2 trap rental with full service
You rent a professional Biogents CO2 trap and the company maintains everything: monthly CO2 tank exchange, trap cleaning, and placement.
- GreenGuard USA price: from $159.99/month for a single trap, all-inclusive.
- Season cost: about $1,120 to $1,440 depending on trap count and length of season.
- Why people choose it: no equipment to buy, no pesticides, and it targets the female mosquitoes that bite and lay eggs, so the population actually drops over 6 to 8 weeks.
3. Buy a trap and run it yourself
If you would rather own the equipment, you buy the trap once and handle the CO2 refills yourself.
- Biogents BG-Mosquitaire CO2 trap: $299.99 at GreenGuard USA, which is $50 less than buying direct from Biogents.
- CO2 tank: a 20 lb aluminum cylinder runs about $150 to $200, or GreenGuard sells one for $199.99.
- CO2 refills: $20 to $35 per fill at any welding supply, homebrew, or fire-extinguisher shop. A tank on an 8-hour timer lasts up to 60 days.
- First-year cost: roughly $500 up front, then just refills after that. Cheapest over multiple seasons if you do not mind the maintenance.
4. Own the trap, let us service it
A middle path many Austin homeowners land on: you own the trap, but you do not want to deal with CO2 runs and upkeep.
- Service-only plan: from $60/month for maintenance, or $89.99/month if you add CO2 tank delivery and exchange.
- Season cost: about $420 to $720.
You do not have to buy the equipment from us to get this. If you already own a Biogents or other CO2 trap, we service those too.
Which is cheapest?
Over a single season, buying your own trap and doing the refills yourself is the lowest total cost. Full-service rental costs more but removes all the work and still avoids pesticides. Spray services look cheap per visit but add up to a similar seasonal total while providing the least lasting benefit, since they never reduce the breeding population.
