Have you noticed pesky mosquitoes starting to buzz around your Albany home? With spring comes warmth and moisture, creating the perfect conditions for mosquito eggs to hatch. These tiny invaders not only cause itchy bites but can also carry diseases, making prevention a top priority. Use our spring mosquito chore list to protect your home and family.

How Mosquitoes Thrive in the Spring

Female mosquitoes lay cold-hardy eggs in moist soil or debris near water sources in the fall. When spring rains arrive, these eggs hatch, and larvae emerge. Female mosquitoes then seek a blood meal to develop their eggs—making you their target.

Simple Steps for Mosquito Prevention

Reducing mosquito breeding sites on your property is the most effective way to control their population. Here’s your spring mosquito prevention checklist:

Remove Standing Water

• Empty water from buckets, tires, pools, tarps, bird baths, and children’s toys.
• Clean roof gutters to ensure proper drainage.
• Remember: Mosquitoes only need a tablespoon of water to breed!

Eliminate Mosquito Habitats

• Thin or remove dense shrubbery, vines, and foundation plantings where adult mosquitoes rest during the day.
• Switch to yellow bug light bulbs in outdoor fixtures to reduce flying insects near your home.
