While the year-round great weather is one of the benefits of living in Northwest Florida, any resident can tell you those benefits come with a price, including a nearly year-round mosquito season.
Thanks to plenty of warmth and moisture, two conditions in which mosquito populations thrive, mosquito season in Florida doesn’t have a clear beginning or end point.
Florida mosquito species are most active in the spring and summer months, when warm temperatures combined with frequent, heavy rains produce thriving mosquito populations.
In any geographic region, mosquito season depends on two factors, rainfall and temperature.
In Northwest Florida, the first warm days of spring signal the start of mosquito season and winter’s first frost signals the end. Fifty degrees is about the threshold for mosquito season: Below that temperature, mosquito populations die off; above it, they can live, reproduce and thrive.
Since mosquito larvae are aquatic, water is another important factor in supporting mosquito populations, and rainfall and aquatic areas abound in many regions of Florida.
