When is Mosquito Season in Georgia?

Every state’s mosquito season starts at a slightly different time. This is because mosquito eggs are only able to hatch when temperatures reach 50 degrees consistently. Once it does, this sets off the start of the mosquito season as they begin to reproduce more rapidly. Here in Georgia, mosquito season begins in the spring, typically mid-March. This makes it important to start preparing for the mosquito-heavy months ahead, which will peak in the summer and linger through the autumn until the temperature cools down once more.

When Should I Have My Yard Sprayed For Mosquitoes?

Too many people make the mistake of not having their yard treated for mosquitoes until after there is a problem established. At this point, the breeding population of mosquitoes has been established and will be more difficult to get rid of. Your best chance at preventing mosquito problems is to get a head start on mosquito treatment at the end of the winter months. This may seem early to start safeguarding your property, but it helps to prevent the onslaught of mosquitoes as summer progresses.

What Time of Day Should I Spray For Mosquitoes?

Because mosquitoes are active at dawn and dusk, it’s important to apply treatment around these times. It is at this time when mosquitoes are out looking for food and laying their eggs. Applying mosquito barrier treatments or sprays in the cooler hours of the morning or as the sun begins to set will be most successful. When you work with a professional mosquito exterminator for mosquito treatment, they will help determine the best time of year and day to administer the treatment or repellent to your property.
