5 FACTS ABOUT MOSQUITO BREEDING BEFORE THE WET SEASON HITS.
1. Mosquitoes only need about a week of standing water to complete a full breeding cycle.
2. A pot saucer, a tarp fold or a blocked gutter section is enough to establish a breeding site.
3. September's rebuilding populations are a fraction of what the wet season brings — treating now limits the baseline.
4. Container breeding around the home, not distant wetlands, is the source of most backyard mosquito pressure.
5. Source treatment in the yard keeps outdoor spaces usable right through summer, not just for a few weeks.
Treat the source now and the yard stays usable through the wet season, not just this month.
