Mosquito Season in Ohio Is Here — Don’t Let Them Ruin Your Summer Events

Kevin McClernon • May 20, 2025

There’s nothing like enjoying warm evenings with friends and family — until the mosquitoes show up. Whether you’re planning a graduation party, backyard wedding, cookout, or simply want a pest-free summer, now’s the time to act.



Mosquito season in Ohio kicks off in late spring and peaks during summer. If you’ve already noticed buzzing or bites, you’re not alone — and it’s only going to get worse without prevention.

When Mosquitoes Are Most Active

In Ohio, mosquitoes begin hatching as early as April, thrive during May through August, and stay active well into September if the weather is warm.

They’re especially active:

  • Around sunset and sunrise
  • After rain or heavy watering
  • Near standing water, shade, or dense vegetation

If you have a graduation party, pool day, or family cookout coming up, mosquitoes will absolutely try to attend.

Health Risks of Mosquitoes

Beyond the annoying bites, mosquitoes can pose real health risks:

  • West Nile Virus – Detected annually in Ohio
  • La Crosse Encephalitis – A virus carried by mosquitoes that can affect children
  • Heartworm in Pets – Mosquitoes can transmit this deadly parasite to dogs
  • Infections – Scratched bites can lead to irritation or secondary infection

Mosquito control is about more than comfort — it's about protecting your family, guests, and pets.

At-Home Mosquito Prevention Tips

You can reduce mosquito activity with a few smart steps:

  • Eliminate standing water (birdbaths, clogged gutters, flowerpot trays, toys)
  • Keep your lawn trimmed and shrubs cut back
  • Use outdoor fans — mosquitoes hate moving air
  • Install or repair window screens
  • Avoid overwatering your lawn or landscape
  • Apply repellents before outdoor activities

These tips help, but they won’t eliminate the problem, especially if breeding zones already exist in your yard.
