As we near closer to the fall season in Massachusetts, you might be asking yourself when it’s time to stop having your yard sprayed for mosquitoes.  Since mosquitoes don’t come and go according to the seasonal calendar, it’s still time to have your yard sprayed.

Mosquitoes actually operate on their own schedule.  Weather dictates when they come and go.  In Massachusetts, this means that the official mosquito season is April through mid to late October.  Though mosquitoes really thrive in temperatures above 80°F, they are active in temperatures above 50°F.  Even though the end of the summer season is in sight, mosquitoes haven’t gotten the memo.
