Warm Weather = MORE Mosquitoes
As the days get longer and temperatures start to climb, one thing becomes increasingly clear—mosquito populations are on the RISE.
The Warm Weather Wake-Up Call
Mosquitoes love the heat. Being cold-blooded creatures, they rely heavily on their environment to regulate their body temperature. When winter rolls in, they don't have the luxury of generating their own body heat like we do. Instead, mosquitoes enter a dormant state called diapause, slowing their metabolism and waiting out the cold in hiding.
But once temperatures start hovering around 50°F and rising—especially hitting that sweet spot near 80°F —mosquitoes come back with a vengeance. Unfortunately for the South…. that means year round mosquito problems.
Why Warmth Isn't Enough
Sure, mosquitoes crave the heat, but there's something else they can't live without: water.
Mosquitoes are semi-aquatic, which means their life cycle—egg, larva, and pupa—takes place in standing water. Whether it's a birdbath, clogged gutter, or even a forgotten flowerpot, any stagnant water can quickly turn into a mosquito nursery.
Even the air itself matters. Dry climates and buildings with excellent moisture control can help reduce mosquito survival. But in warm, humid environments, these pests thrive.
