Keeping your yard protected from mosquitoes is a job that lasts longer than just the summer. Mosquito season, depending on how warm it is, can even extend into winter. Fending off these pests isn’t an easy job to take on by yourself, which is just one of the reasons why it’s better left to the pros. With our fall mosquito yard treatments at Mosquito Hunters™, we help Glenview, IL area homeowners fight these invasive insects and prevent them from coming back in the future.
When it comes to avoiding mosquitoes, it’s crucial to learn about their behaviors. While what these pests are up to in the summer is generally common knowledge, you may not be familiar with their fall behaviors. Here are a few key things to know about mosquitoes in the fall:
Full moons boost mosquito activity. When the moon is full, mosquito activity drastically increases. During harvest moons and other full moons, the activity of mosquitoes can shoot up by up to 500 percent! Because of this, it’s crucial to take mosquito activity into account when making plans on fall nights with a full moon.
Weather changes extend the mosquito season. Temperatures are rising year after year, which extends the mosquito season. In fact, there are over 20 states in the US that have a mosquito season that lasts 200 of the 365 days of the year.
Dark clothing attracts mosquitoes. While it’s common for wardrobes to steer toward darker colors in the fall, this can actually be a magnet for certain species of mosquitoes. If you’re trying to avoid mosquitoes, it’s best to make an attempt to wear lighter clothing.
Sweat attracts mosquitoes. We often associate sweating outside and mosquitoes with summer weather, but both of these are just as relevant in the fall. Whether you’re doing yard work or getting fall decorations ready, sweating outside can make you a target for any hungry mosquitoes on your property.
Mosquito behavior changes when the temperatures go down. When the days start to get cooler and we start to lose daylight, mosquitoes start to go into “diapause”, their hibernation mode. At this point, they may not be flying around quite as much, but they start to hunt for safe places around your home and yard to survive throughout the cold months. Come next spring, they’ll emerge from their hideouts and begin to repopulate.
