For the best protection against mosquitoes, it’s recommended to get your home treated just before mosquito season begins (during the warmer months). However, you can get mosquito treatment at any time of the year.
Ideally, having a professional apply mosquito treatment in the spring is your best defense against a mosquito problem. Barrier treatments can be applied before mosquito season or during mosquito season.
When is Mosquito Season in Southampton?
Here in Southampton, mosquito season begins in the spring, typically early March. This makes it important to start preparing for the mosquito-heavy months ahead, which will peak in the summer and linger through the autumn.
But why does mosquito season start at different times throughout the nation? Mosquito eggs are only able to hatch when temperatures reach a consistent 50 degrees. Once it does, this sets off the start of the mosquito season as they begin to reproduce more rapidly.

When Do I Need Mosquito Treatment?
Your best chance at preventing mosquito problems is to get a head start on mosquito treatment at the end of the winter months. This may seem early to start safeguarding your property, but it helps to prevent the onslaught of mosquitoes months later.
Many people make the mistake of waiting until they have a full-blown mosquito problem to inquire about mosquito treatment. By this time, the breeding population of mosquitoes has been established and will be more difficult to get rid of.
What Time of Day Do You Spray For Mosquitoes?
Applying mosquito barrier treatments or sprays in the cooler hours of the morning or as the sun begins to set will be the most successful. This is because mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. It is at this time when mosquitoes are out looking for food and laying their eggs.
When you work with a professional mosquito exterminator for mosquito treatment, like East End Tick & Mosquito Control®, we will help determine the best time to apply barrier treatment to your home.
