If your summer is built around outdoor living, a seasonal mosquito treatment is likely worth it. Each treatment lasts about three weeks at a time, and seasonal plans account for this and schedule regular re-treatment.
It’s not fun to plan your summer only to have mosquitoes constantly biting you when you’re outdoors. But unfortunately, unless you have a plan for dealing with them, this is exactly what can happen. Seasonal plans exist to help with this, and they work because they are consistent.
DIY mosquito control can work for small problems, as can one-off mosquito treatments. But the trouble is that mosquitoes only need about a week to go from egg to biting adult. If you have a professional treatment done, it will likely last about three weeks. That means in four weeks, you can have a whole new generation of mosquitoes started by lucky survivors or mosquitoes that flew in from off-property after the treatment wore off.
The season runs long here, spring humidity through a warm coastal fall. And the salt marsh mosquitoes are their own phenomenon: they breed in marsh soil above the tide line, hatch in synchronized waves when flooding tides or heavy rain arrive, and fly miles inland, aggressively. Lapsed treatments don’t help with waves of mosquitoes. Regular and recurring treatment does. And recurring treatment also helps reduce the presence of ticks as well.
If outdoor living is a big part of your summer, a seasonal mosquito treatment plan is probably worth it. If it’s occasional and you just need to plan for one week at the house or a wedding on the lawn, then one-time treatment may be a suitable option.
