Dr. Green Services Issues Mosquito and Heartworm Alert for Dallas and Chicago Regions

DALLAS and CHICAGO, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As warm, wet weather sets in across Dallas, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois, Dr. Green Services is issuing an important public alert: residents should brace for a surge in mosquito activity and the related threat of heartworm disease in pets. With mosquito season peaking, professionals urge homeowners to take swift action to protect their families and animals.

Heartworm disease is a serious, potentially fatal condition transmitted through mosquito bites. It affects dogs, cats, and other mammals when larvae from infected mosquitoes enter the bloodstream and grow into adult worms that attack the heart and lungs.

"Conditions in both the Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago metro areas have created a perfect storm for mosquito breeding," said James Tatum, Director of Operations, from Dr. Green Services, a leading provider of residential lawn care and pest control solutions. "Standing water from spring rain, rising temperatures, and lush vegetation all contribute to a spike in mosquito populations—and that brings real health concerns."

To combat the risk, Dr. Green Services offers a proven Mosquito Defense Program, now available to residents in Dallas, Chicago, and surrounding suburbs. The program uses targeted, environmentally responsible treatments to drastically reduce mosquito populations around homes and yards.

"Our professional treatments are designed to eliminate mosquitoes where they live and breed—near shrubs, shaded areas, and standing water," James Tatum, Director of Operations, explained. "Homeowners who want to enjoy their outdoor spaces without worrying about mosquito-borne illnesses or pet heartworm should act now."

In both cities, veterinarians strongly recommend year-round heartworm prevention for pets, especially during mosquito season. Monthly medications, annual testing, and minimizing mosquito exposure are critical steps in keeping animals healthy.

In addition to professional mosquito control services, Dr. Green Services advises homeowners in Texas and Illinois to take these additional measures:

• Remove standing water from containers, flower pots, and gutters.
• Trim grass and vegetation regularly to reduce mosquito resting spots.
• Use screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes outside.
• Avoid dusk and dawn walks with pets, when mosquitoes are most active.

Dr. Green Services reminds residents that mosquito control isn't just about comfort—it's about health and safety. Their Mosquito Defense Program is safe for children and pets once dry and can help reduce the threat of mosquito-borne illnesses for the entire season.
