For maximum mosquito protection, it’s best to have your home treated just before mosquito season starts, usually during the warmer months. That said, treatments are effective year-round if mosquitoes are already present. Treating early can help limit mosquito populations and reduce the risk of bites, making your outdoor spaces more enjoyable.
Having a professional apply mosquito treatment in the spring provides the most reliable defense against infestations. Barrier treatments can be used before or during mosquito season to keep mosquitoes away consistently. Professionals also know where mosquitoes hide and can target these areas, ensuring your yard stays comfortable and protected.
What Time of Year Is Mosquito Season in Southampton?
Here in Southampton, mosquito season usually begins in early March, marking the start of warmer weather. It’s important to begin preparing for the months ahead when mosquitoes will be most active, peaking in summer and continuing into autumn. Taking early action can make a big difference in controlling their numbers.
But why does mosquito season vary across the country? Mosquito eggs only hatch when temperatures consistently reach around 50 degrees. This warm weather triggers faster reproduction, signaling the start of the season. Understanding this can help homeowners plan their mosquito prevention strategies more effectively.

When Is It Time to Treat for Mosquitoes?
Your best chance at preventing mosquito problems is to start treatments at the end of winter. This might feel early, but getting a head start helps protect your property from the large influx of mosquitoes that arrive in spring and summer. Early action also gives treatments more time to work effectively before the peak season.
Many homeowners wait until mosquitoes are already a major nuisance before seeking treatment. By then, the mosquito population will have already grown and will be harder to control. Acting sooner can save time, reduce bites, and make your yard more enjoyable.
When Is the Best Time of Day to Spray for Mosquitoes?
The most successful mosquito treatments are applied in the early morning or around sunset when temperatures are cooler. This is because mosquitoes are highly active during these periods, feeding and laying eggs. Applying treatments at these times increases the chance of eliminating more mosquitoes.
Partnering with a professional mosquito exterminator, such as East End Tick & Mosquito Control®, ensures your barrier treatments are applied at the best times for effectiveness. Our team can also identify areas where mosquitoes hide and breed.
