Could Mild Winter Weather Result in More Mosquitoes?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

December 20, 2023

Winter always invites us to forget about the mosquitoes that we endure during the summer months, but this season needs a reality check. Overall, winter temperatures have been warmer on average in the Northeast. Although this might seem like good news for our outdoor living season, such temperature changes mean we may have to contend with mosquitoes earlier than usual. In decades past, the Northeast’s brutal winters were enough to eliminate many of the mosquito eggs and dormant mosquitoes that sheltered during the fall, but times are changing. Mild temperatures, like those we’ve had in recent weeks that approach 50 degrees Fahrenheit, mean it will be easier for more mosquitoes and their eggs to survive the winter. Indeed, the extreme cold we often encounter this season is a safeguard against mosquitoes rebounding quickly. We may not be able to rely on cold to save us this year. While 45 degrees might feel cold to us, it is enough for many pests to survive. Such changes emphasize the importance of mosquito control in the coming months.

Why Mamaroneck mosquito control should be top of mind in spring

One of the keys to mosquito defense on your property is by heading off the mosquito explosion in your yard. Mosquitoes reproduce rapidly, but early mosquito control treatments are particularly effective to defend against exponential mosquito population growth nearby. Mosquitoes don’t belong on your property. Unlike songbirds and other intriguing animals, mosquitoes are pure nuisances and disease vectors that will ruin your time in the outdoors.
