About Crusader Mosquito Control

Protecting Your Outdoor Life Since 1983

Crusader Mosquito Control was founded in 1983 under the belief that families should receive fair treatment and budget-friendly pricing for their mosquito control systems. Therefore, since 1983, we have built a reputation for excellence and high customer satisfaction. As a family-owned and operated Houston business, we understand you want a trustworthy and high-quality mosquito control company for your home. Therefore, we are a fully licensed and insured outdoor insect control company with applicators certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture. We offer only the best to our customers.

We think disease-carrying mosquito control should be easy. Therefore, we are an authorized dealer of MistAway® automatic mosquito control systems. Crusader Mosquito Control also takes the time and care to design your systems for optimal mosquito eradication.

Our focus is on helping you and your family avoid the irritation of mosquito bites and safeguarding you against the dangerous diseases they carry. Whether you need a new system, service, maintenance, repair, or yard fogging, we help you enjoy your outdoor spaces with approved, effective insecticides or repellents. We at Crusader Mosquito Control infuse the Golden Rule in every interaction we have. Therefore, we help you customize mosquito control solutions without gouging you on contracts for service and maintenance. You receive just what you need for your yard, your budget, and your family.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: give Houston-area families their backyards back. Mosquitoes don’t just ruin an evening outside — they carry real health risks, from West Nile virus to Zika, and they can turn a yard you’ve invested time and money into into a place you avoid instead of enjoy. We believe protecting your family from those risks shouldn’t require a confusing contract or a system that’s more hassle than it’s worth. That’s why every recommendation we make starts with your yard, your routine, and your budget, not a one-size-fits-all package.

What Sets Us Apart

• Decades of hands-on experience. We’ve been solving mosquito problems in Houston’s heat and humidity since 1983, so we know how local conditions — standing water after summer storms, dense landscaping, proximity to bayous and drainage — affect the right system design for your property.
• Certified, licensed, and insured. Our applicators are certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture, and we carry a Texas Pest Control License, so you know the products and methods used on your property meet state standards.
• Authorized MistAway® dealer. We install and service MistAway® automatic misting systems, one of the most trusted names in automated mosquito control, and we back every installation with ongoing maintenance and repair support.
• Custom system design. No two yards are the same. We design nozzle placement, timing, and coverage around your specific landscaping, water sources, and gathering spaces rather than installing a generic template.
• Straightforward pricing. We quote what your yard actually needs, not what fits a bundled package, so you’re not paying for coverage or contract terms you didn’t ask for.

Family Owned & Operated for Great Service

Larry Szymaszek, the owner of Crusader Mosquito Control, has been in the insect business since 1983. Over the last 15 years, he has focused solely on mosquito control for residential and commercial properties. Larry was inspired to actively pursue the best mosquito control systems after he saw that his grandchildren were getting bit by mosquitoes almost every time they went outside. Knowing that bites are not only irritating but can also cause allergic reactions and many dangerous diseases, he decided he would find a way to help protect his family and other families in his community. Thus, he created Crusader Mosquito Control to help people enjoy the outdoors without worrying about mosquitoes.

Larry is a born and raised Texan dedicated to his family. He built Crusader Mosquito Control on the idea that everyone should receive the same courtesy and protection that he provides his loved ones. Above all, Larry believes integrity should lead everything we do at Crusader Mosquito Control, which is why he offers affordable and effective mosquito control solutions to our customers.

That same family-first approach carries through to how the business runs today. As a family-owned company, decisions aren’t made by a distant corporate office — they’re made by people who live in the same Houston heat, deal with the same mosquito season, and want the same reliable protection for their own backyards that they provide for yours.
