Warm Weather and Kentucky Mosquitoes
Pest Expert Matthew S. Hess – 06/25/2025
Warmer Weather in Kentucky Means More Mosquitoes. As spring gives way to summer, the days get longer, the grass gets greener, the humidity rises, and unfortunately… the mosquitoes start swarming. If you live in London, Somerset, or anywhere else in southern Kentucky, you know the drill: one day you’re enjoying your porch swing, and the next you’re swatting at your ankles, arms, and neck like your life depends on it… and you’ll catch yourself saying, “I wish these $#@%&*! Mosquitoes would leave me ALONE!!”
As annoying as mosquitoes can be, affecting your comfort and your ability to enjoy the outdoors, their annoyance is just the beginning; they’re a real threat to your health. The good news? Four Seasons Pest Solutions is here to help you fight back, with effective mosquito control that actually works!
Why Mosquitoes Love Kentucky Summers
Kentucky’s warm, humid climate makes it the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Once temperatures consistently hit 50°F or higher, these pests come out in force, and they don’t take a break until the first hard frost in fall.
Why they thrive here:
- Standing water (in birdbaths, gutters, flowerpots, or puddles) gives them ideal places to lay eggs.
- Streams dry up in the heat and stop flowing, allowing still, stagnant water pools to form, making breeding grounds plentiful.
- Thick vegetation offers cool, shady places to hide during the day and holds moisture.
- Human and animal activity provides a constant food source, because, yes, they feed on us.
Mosquitoes in our region aren’t just a nuisance. They can transmit dangerous diseases like West Nile virus, Zika, and Eastern equine encephalitis (rare but serious), and even heartworm in dogs and cats! For families with kids, pets, or outdoor spaces, mosquitoes aren’t just annoying, they’re a legitimate problem.
Why DIY Mosquito Control Falls Short
You can try citronella candles, sprays, or even fancy bug zappers, but none of these actually reduce the mosquito population around your home. At best, they repel a few. At worst, they give you a false sense of security. (Yes, in many cases, temporary relief from minor infestations can be secured. We are not suggesting these cannot work at all.)
The truth is: if you want real mosquito control, you have to target the source, where they breed, where they rest, and where they feed. That takes more than a store-bought solution.
