How often should I treat my yard for mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are among the most unrelenting pests found in Virginia. If you spend a lot of time outside, mosquitoes can make your life miserable from the start of spring all the way until the air gets cold in fall. If you’ve been having issues with mosquitoes swarming in your yard, your best option is to schedule regular mosquito control treatments with a local pest control company. However, you may wonder how often your yard needs to be treated to keep it mosquito free.

Generally, a property should be treated for mosquitoes either once or twice a month to prevent an infestation. In Virginia, mosquito season tends to last from April until October, so you should have your yard treated for mosquitoes during these months. The exact number of treatments you schedule may be partially dependent on the weather. Heavy rainstorms can wash away spray treatments. Because of this, during rainier months like July and August, you may need to apply mosquito control products more frequently.

Temperature may also have an impact on the frequency of mosquito treatments. Mosquitoes thrive in hot, humid weather, so the summer months may require more frequent treatments than the cooler spring and fall months. Most likely, you can get by with monthly treatments during cooler periods but you may need bi-weekly treatments during summer.
