FACT OR FICTION: "Mosquito populations naturally decrease in August because it's too hot for them."
Swipe for the answer — and it might surprise you.
Extreme heat can slow mosquitoes down during the hottest part of the afternoon, but they simply shift their activity to dawn, dusk, and after dark — when temperatures cool and humidity rises. Populations don't disappear. They adapt.
That's exactly why consistent, scheduled treatment matters through the entire month, not just the "hottest" stretch of summer.
