When Should Mosquito Treatment Start in Iowa?
For ideal mosquito protection, it’s recommended to have your home treated just before mosquito season starts. However, mosquito treatment is an option at any point in the year. Barrier treatments can be set in place before or during mosquito season. Having an exterminator apply mosquito treatment in the spring is the best way to prevent a mosquito problem.

Mosquitoes start to produce more rapidly as the weather gets warmer. Here in Iowa, mosquito season begins in the spring, usually late April. This makes it a necessity to prepare for the mosquito-heavy months before the season starts.
