Ok - so here is more info:

"Mosquitoes are controlled on public property by eliminating the breeding source, applying pesticides to stagnant water and “fogging” for adult mosquitoes"
"The Vector Control Program does not treat private property for insect or rodent problems."
San Antonio Metropolitan Health District

Not much you can do about a neighbor's property.

Actually, you can. it's a code compliance violation to allow standing water in things like pools to breed mosquitoes. Vector control doesn't go to private property,but code compliance will inspect if there's a report.

That said, it may not be from the pool (is it not treated?). There are many places water pools - leaf litter, buckets left out, etc.

There are people walking with and without dogs. I see people walking the street and the parks at all hours, not for drugs or tagging. It's a real neighborhood.
I feel better about living near downtown, inside 410.

Exactly!

browncoatflan - you said you don't own the house, is there a reason you need to stay there? Given your background, I'd highly recommend moving closer to downtown, at least inside 410. Many great places to walk!

How sad that this thread has had to have so many ugly posts removed. May the OP find her own version of happy trails. Thread closed.
