Timing Your Mosquito Prevention Treatments
In Southern California, mosquito season typically runs from spring through fall, with peak activity occurring during the warmer months from May through October. However, our mild climate means mosquitoes can remain active year-round in some areas, especially during unseasonably warm winters. The key to effective mosquito management is getting ahead of the problem before populations explode.
The ideal time to begin mosquito control treatments is early spring, typically March or April, before breeding activity reaches its peak. Starting early allows treatments to target the first generations of mosquitoes emerging from winter dormancy, preventing them from establishing large populations later in the season. For maximum effectiveness, ongoing treatments every three to four weeks throughout mosquito season maintain protective barriers and continuously reduce breeding opportunities. And if you're planning an outdoor event like a wedding, graduation party, or family reunion, scheduling a treatment three to five days beforehand provides optimal results. If you’re unsure what kind of mosquito prevention strategy is the best fit for your family, our team can assess your property's specific mosquito pressure and recommend a treatment schedule that fits your needs and budget.
Understanding Mosquito-Borne Disease Risks in SoCal
While mosquito bites are annoying, the real concern lies in the diseases these insects can transmit. Southern California has seen confirmed cases of several mosquito-borne illnesses in recent years, making professional mosquito control more than just a comfort issue.
Southern California mosquitoes have been known to transmit:
- West Nile virus. The most common mosquito-borne disease in California, the West Nile virus can cause fever, headaches, body aches, and in severe cases, neurological complications. Most people infected show no symptoms, but approximately one in five develop noticeable illness.
- St. Louis Encephalitis. Though less common than West Nile, St. Louis Encephalitis has been detected in Southern California mosquito populations. It can cause fever, headache, nausea, and in rare cases, inflammation of the brain that leads to serious complications.
- Dengue fever. While historically rare in California, the invasive Aedes mosquito species is capable of transmitting dengue and has established populations in some Southern California communities. Dengue causes high fever, severe headaches, joint and muscle pain, and, in rare cases, can progress to a more serious form.
- Zika virus. Though local transmission remains uncommon in California, the presence of Aedes mosquitoes means the potential exists. Zika is particularly concerning for pregnant women, as it can cause serious congenital disabilities.
While the risk of contracting these diseases remains relatively low for most SoCal residents, the presence of these pathogens in local mosquito populations underscores the importance of effective mosquito management around your home and family.
