Well, actually… a cold snap can slow mosquitoes down, but it doesn’t make them disappear. 🦟
Some survive winter as eggs; others shelter as dormant adults. Then a warm, wet stretch can get activity going again, and standing water can give the next generation a place to develop. That’s why a wetter El Niño winter can matter here in Florida.
We keep treating through the cooler months to help keep mosquito populations from getting a head start when spring arrives. Want more comfortable time outside? Message Mosquito Shield of Tallahassee to learn about seasonal service.
