When Do Mosquitoes Die in the Fall? What You Should Know About Seasonal Pest Control
As fall approaches, there’s one bug that we’re all happy to see die off: mosquitoes. By the time cooler weather finally flies around, we’re eager to say “GOOD RIDDANCE!” to the itching, buzzing, and biting that come with mosquito season.
So when do mosquitoes die in the fall?
The global mosquito population has grown exponentially over the decades, and at Vulcan Termite & Pest Control Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how it has impacted Alabama in particular. As common vectors of deadly viruses and an overall nuisance, mosquitoes warrant the need for seasonal pest control. Here’s what you need to know about fall’s emergence and when mosquitoes will finally exit.
Your Questions Answered: When Do Mosquitoes Die in the Fall?
“When do mosquitoes die in the fall?” we’re all wondering. Well, in short, they don’t. At least, that’s unfortunately not the case in Alabama’s subtropical climate. Mosquitoes don’t buzz off until temperatures drop below 50 degrees. Even in 50-degree weather, mosquitoes don’t die; they become inactive until the temperature starts to warm up again.
So even though cooler weather marks their slow departure, they’re not quite out of our hair yet. On the bright side, once temperatures drop, mosquitoes will too! Eventually, it will be like they were never there. Here’s what you can do about mosquito activity in the meantime and to mitigate their numbers when they return next summer:
Seasonal Pest Control
Mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas remain active in the fall because there’s a warm day here or there. They don’t go away so soon because Alabama is hot and humid most of the year. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get ahead of them. Mosquito pest control is instrumental in reducing breeding and minimizing the potential for infestation.
If you make your treatment reservations early, we offer our one-year outdoor mosquito control services package at a discounted price—only $490! This package includes continual inspection and customized treatments for mosquitoes during their season of highest activity (April through October).
