How Often Should I Treat My Yard for Mosquitoes?

If you've ever wondered how frequently to treat your yard for mosquitoes, you're not alone. Many homeowners in Anson County experience peak mosquito activity during the warmer months but aren’t quite sure when—or how often—they should schedule treatments to keep the buzzing at bay. The answer depends on a few factors, but the key takeaway is this: consistency is essential.

At Mosquito Squad of the Sandhills, we’ve helped countless residents build a mosquito control plan tailored to their lifestyle, property, and pest pressure. Here’s what you need to know.

Why Repeated Treatments Are Necessary

Mosquitoes are more than just irritating—they’re persistent breeders with a short life cycle and a high reproduction rate. A single mosquito can lay hundreds of eggs at a time, and those eggs can hatch within days if conditions are right. Because of this, treating your yard once isn’t enough to interrupt the cycle.

Our traditional mosquito barrier treatment is designed to reduce mosquito populations by up to 85–90% for up to 21 days. After that point, the product begins to break down due to weather exposure and natural degradation, which is why reapplication is recommended every three weeks throughout the season.

What Does a Seasonal Mosquito Control Plan Look Like?

In Anson County, mosquito season typically ramps up in the spring and extends into early fall. To maintain effective control, we suggest beginning treatments in early spring—often March or April—and continuing every three weeks until mosquito activity declines in the fall.

This results in approximately 6–8 treatments per year, depending on how early or late the season runs. Sticking to this schedule helps you stay ahead of the population, especially during summer months when mosquitoes are most active.

Our team will assess your property during your initial service to recommend a treatment frequency that makes the most sense for your space, but we typically suggest a mosquito control application every three weeks.

What About Natural Treatment Options?

For those looking for a more botanical approach, we also offer a natural mosquito control treatment made from essential oils. This option is ideal for homeowners who prefer a lighter scent and more plant-based ingredients.

Keep in mind that our natural treatment is effective for up to three weeks, so scheduling is slightly more frequent than our traditional service. We’re happy to work with you to decide which solution best fits your needs.
