This spring has brought more than it's fair share of heavy rain, along with unseasonably cool weather. Recent temperatures in the 40's for daytime highs haven't exactly lent credence to the phrase, "hope springs eternal." But what this weather pattern has created is conditions that are already creating a bad [mosquito season in Massachusetts.](http://www.burgesspest.com/residential/mosquitos-ticks/) ![Massachusetts mosquito season](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mosqimage.jpg?width=320&name=mosqimage.jpg "Massachusetts mosquito season") The most essential element that mosquitoes need to breed is water. Particularly after prior years which brought prolonged periods lacking in rainfall, this spring has provided enough moisture to fill ponds, flourish rivers, and create pooling and dampness in backyards and areas with dense brush. Warmth is the next element that allows mosquitoes to flourish. While we haven't yet experienced extended periods of above average temperatures, that's about to change. Our local forecast has us reaching daytime highs in the 80's and 90's within the next week. Mosquito season in Massachusetts is exacerbated by breeding in stagnant, standing fresh water. But this doesn't have to be an actual pond or river. Mosquito breeding can occur in buckets filled with water, wet trashcans, and clogged gutters. So consider this an early Massachusetts mosquito season warning. It's going to be a bad one. Make the effort now to remove standing water. Clean out those gutters. And be proactive with a seasonal mosquito and tick treatment package with [Burgess Pest](http://www.burgesspest.com/).  Stay safe, stop swatting, and learn more by clicking below.  [![Tick & Mosquito Control](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/460754/20d07c16-912f-458e-94d4-10b51e494f51.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/460754/20d07c16-912f-458e-94d4-10b51e494f51) Topics: [massachusetts mosquito control](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/massachusetts-mosquito-control), [burgess pest management](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/burgess-pest-management), [best massachusetts mosquito control](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/best-massachusetts-mosquito-control), [massachusetts mosquito season](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/massachusetts-mosquito-season)  Thanks for visiting today!   ## **Have a Pest Problem?**   **[![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/460754/cb31fb6d-9c1e-4916-b4b7-a37bbc4590a1.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/460754/cb31fb6d-9c1e-4916-b4b7-a37bbc4590a1)** ### Get the latest in your inbox ### Recent Posts ##### Residential Pest Control - [Pad Protection Plans](https://www.burgesspest.com/pad-protection-plans/) - [Ant Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-ant-control/) - [Tick & Mosquito Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-tick-mosquito-control/) - [Rodent Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-rodent-control/) - [Bee Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-bee-control/) - [Insulation Cleanouts](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-insulation-cleanouts/) - [TAP® Insulation](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-tap-insulation-installer/) - [Massachusetts Wildlife Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-wildlife-control/) - [Schedule an Inspection](https://www.burgesspest.com/schedule-an-inspection/) ##### COMPANY - [Our Story](https://www.burgesspest.com/our-story/) - [Careers at Burgess](https://www.burgesspest.com/careers-at-burgess/) - [Service Areas](https://www.burgesspest.com/service-areas/) - [Customer Reviews](https://www.burgesspest.com/customer-reviews/) ##### Contact Us [508-587-4309](tel:508-587-4309) [email](mailto:info@burgesspest.com) - - - - ### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG: © 2022 Burgess Pest Management.
