How Local Temperatures Affect Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes thrive in warm conditions, making late spring and summer their peak seasons. During these months, temperatures averaging 70°F to 90°F create ideal breeding conditions, especially in standing water found in bird baths, clogged gutters, and poorly maintained ponds. Mosquito eggs can develop rapidly in these environments, leading to a sharp increase in their numbers. It is crucial for property owners to actively monitor and manage standing water around their properties to limit mosquito breeding sites.
As summer wanes, cooler temperatures herald the arrival of fall, causing many mosquito species to become less active. However, some resilient species can still survive in North San Diego County's milder winter months by seeking shelter in protected areas. This means that mosquitoes may remain a nuisance even as temperatures drop, particularly during unseasonably warm spells.
Consistent preventive measures are essential to combat these pests effectively year-round. These include regular yard maintenance, applying mosquito repellent treatments, and encouraging community clean-up efforts to eliminate standing water. By being proactive, you can enjoy your outdoor spaces without annoying interruptions, no matter the season.
How Frequently Should You Treat for Mosquitoes?
We recommend scheduling treatments every 21 to 30 days during the peak mosquito season, which typically lasts from late spring through early fall. This timeframe allows us to continuously eliminate larvae and adult mosquitoes, keeping their numbers in check and reducing your chances of getting bitten. Regular treatments target existing mosquitoes and help prevent new infestations from establishing in your yard.
In addition to these routine treatments, you should consider additional treatments to account for unique environmental factors and changes. For example, if you notice an increase in mosquito activity or have areas with stagnant water that cannot be easily removed, more frequent treatments may be warranted.

Mosquito Bite Treatments
Treating mosquito bites effectively can help alleviate discomfort and prevent secondary infections.
Effective and accessible mosquito bite treatments include:
- Washing the affected area. Clean the bite with soap and water to remove any potential irritants and help reduce the risk of infection.
- Cold compresses. Use a clean cloth soaked in cold water or an ice pack wrapped in a towel to soothe swelling and numb the area, providing immediate relief from itching.
- Topical treatments. Medicines applied directly to the skin, like calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream, can help calm irritation and reduce inflammation. Apply as directed by the manufacturer for best results.
- Oral antihistamines. If you experience a more significant allergic reaction, over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl can help alleviate itching and swelling.
- Natural remedies. Many people find relief with remedies such as aloe vera gel, witch hazel, or a paste made from baking soda and water to ease irritation.
While these treatments can effectively manage most cases of mosquito bites, it's essential to monitor your symptoms. If you experience severe swelling, difficulty breathing, or signs of infection such as increasing redness or pus, or if the bite doesn't improve within a few days, it's best to seek medical attention.
