Most homeowners think mosquito season starts in summer.
It doesn’t.
Mosquito season in East Tennessee starts in spring.
Why Mosquitoes Show Up Early
Mosquito eggs hatch when:
- Temperatures rise
- Rain creates standing water
That combination happens early in the season.
Where They Breed
Mosquitoes only need a tiny amount of water.
Common sources include:
- Clogged gutters
- Flower pot trays
- Tarps
- Kids’ toys
- Low spots in the yard
Even something as small as a bottle cap can support larvae.
Why Timing Matters
By the time you’re getting bitten…
you’re already dealing with a fully active population.
Spring Strategy
Early prevention is far more effective than reacting later.
Maryville Tip:
The first warm rains of spring are when mosquito problems begin — not when you first notice them.
If you want bugs dead, you have to use Common Sense.
