Fall Still Matters for Mosquito Control

September 23, 2025

When the weather cools down, many homeowners assume mosquito season is over. But the truth is, mosquitoes don’t just disappear once summer ends. In fact, fall is a critical time to stay on top of mosquito control—and here’s why.

Mosquitoes Remain Active Until the First Frost

Mosquito activity slows as temperatures drop, but they remain active until it consistently falls below 50°F. On warm fall afternoons, you may still find them buzzing around your yard.

Breeding Doesn’t Stop

Female mosquitoes continue laying eggs in standing water well into fall. Some species’ eggs are designed to survive the winter and hatch when spring temperatures rise, leading to an early-season mosquito surge.

Fall Weather Creates Breeding Spots

Autumn rains and leaf piles trap water, providing perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes. If left unchecked, this can set the stage for even larger mosquito populations next year.

• Disease Risk Is Still Present
• Mosquitoes can continue transmitting diseases such as West Nile Virus during the fall. Fewer bites don’t mean zero risk—so prevention remains important.
• How to Reduce Mosquito Problems This Fall
• Eliminate standing water around your property.
• Clear gutters and remove wet leaves.
• Keep yard debris to a minimum.
• Schedule professional mosquito treatments for long-lasting protection.
