When Is Mosquito Season?
Mosquito activity begins as early as March, especially after warmer temperatures and spring rain. Activity peaks during the summer monsoon months and often continues well into October.
Once mosquitoes establish breeding sites around your home, populations grow fast. A single female mosquito can lay hundreds of eggs at a time, making early prevention critical.
The key to effective mosquito control isn’t reacting. It’s planning ahead.
Why Mosquitoes Are a Serious Risk
Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying. They can be dangerous.
Mosquitoes are known to transmit diseases such as:
-
West Nile Virus
-
Zika Virus
-
Dengue Fever
-
Chikungunya
Arizona consistently reports cases of mosquito-borne illnesses every year. Even if you don’t see large numbers yet, mosquitoes may already be breeding nearby.
Beyond health risks, mosquitoes can also:
-
Ruin outdoor gatherings and pool time
-
Prevent kids and pets from enjoying the yard
-
Force homeowners indoors during evenings
What Attracts Mosquitoes to Your Yard?
Understanding what attracts mosquitoes helps explain why DIY solutions often fall short.
Mosquitoes are drawn to:
-
Standing water (planters, clogged drains, bird baths, pet bowls)
-
Over-irrigated lawns and shaded, damp soil
-
Dense landscaping and overgrown shrubs
-
Human scent and body heat
-
Carbon dioxide we naturally exhale
Even well-maintained yards can unintentionally create ideal mosquito breeding conditions.
Mosquito Fogging: Fast Knockdown Protection
Mosquito fogging is designed to quickly reduce adult mosquito populations.
Fogging treatments:
-
Target mosquitoes resting in shrubs and shaded areas
-
Provide an immediate reduction in mosquito activity
-
Leave a residual barrier to help control mosquitoes between visits
Fogging is especially helpful for events, outdoor entertaining, and peak mosquito months — but fogging alone doesn’t stop the mosquito life cycle.
In2Care Mosquito Stations: Season-Long Control
For long-term mosquito control, In2Care mosquito stations are one of the most effective tools available.
In2Care stations work by:
-
Attracting egg-laying female mosquitoes
-
Contaminating them with a larvicide and fungus
-
Allowing them to spread treatment to other breeding sites
This approach targets mosquitoes before they become biting adults, dramatically reducing population growth over time.
Why In2Care Is Different
-
Targets mosquitoes at the source
-
Reduces reliance on frequent fogging
-
Safe for pets, pollinators, and beneficial insects
-
Ideal for customers who are home year-round or travel during summer
Why Fogging + In2Care Works Best Together
The most effective mosquito control strategy combines fogging and In2Care stations.
-
Fogging knocks down existing mosquitoes
-
In2Care stations interrupt the breeding cycle
This two-prong approach provides both immediate relief and long-term protection throughout mosquito season.

When Should You Schedule Mosquito Services?
The best time to plan mosquito control is before mosquitoes become a problem.

-
Scheduling fogging and In2Care stations before or early in mosquito season
-
Maintaining service consistently from March through October
-
Planning ahead if you travel during summer months
Once mosquitoes take hold, it’s much harder to regain control.
