ABC Home & Commercial Services is urging Orlando homeowners to get ahead of mosquito season before spring rains arrive. With Central Florida's season running March through November, early treatment is the most effective defense against mosquito-borne illness.
-- Orlando, FL — With spring approaching and temperatures in Central Florida already hovering near the critical 50-degree threshold, ABC Home & Commercial Services is reminding Orlando-area homeowners that mosquito season arrives earlier — and lasts longer — than most residents expect.
Unlike northern states where a hard frost defines the beginning and end of mosquito activity, Central Florida operates by different rules. Once ambient temperatures consistently exceed 50 degrees Fahrenheit, dormant mosquito eggs begin hatching and populations rebuild rapidly. That threshold is reached in Orlando as early as late February or early March — weeks before most homeowners think to call a mosquito exterminator.
Central Florida's mosquito season typically runs from March through November, with the most intense activity from June through September. But by the time summer peaks, homeowners who haven't treated their yards are already dealing with established breeding populations that are significantly harder to eliminate. ABC's full guide to mosquito season in Florida breaks down exactly what Orlando residents are up against and why early action matters.
Florida's mosquito problem is uniquely severe. The state is home to approximately 80 known mosquito species — more than any other state in the country — and several are documented vectors for West Nile virus, dengue fever, Zika, and Eastern equine encephalitis. According to data compiled through early 2026, the 2025 season was significantly more intense than average nationally, with 41% more severe West Nile cases reported than the typical annual baseline.
For Orlando homeowners, the risk isn't abstract. Orange County operates active mosquito abatement programs, but residential yards — with their birdbaths, flowerpots, clogged gutters, and ornamental ponds — remain prime breeding grounds that public programs don't address at the property level. A single container holding as little as a teaspoon of standing water can support an entire mosquito breeding cycle.
ABC Home & Commercial Services, a family-owned Orlando pest control company serving the area since 2006, recommends scheduling professional barrier treatments no later than early March. Treatments applied before peak season create a protective buffer that prevents populations from establishing — rather than reacting after infestations are already active.
"The biggest mistake Orlando homeowners make is waiting until they're already getting bitten before calling an exterminator," said a spokesperson for ABC Home & Commercial Services. "By March, conditions are already ideal for breeding. Early treatment is significantly more effective and more cost-efficient than emergency service in July."
ABC's Orlando mosquito exterminator services include targeted barrier treatments, standing water source identification, and recurring seasonal programs designed around Central Florida's extended season. The company's licensed technicians are trained to identify the species most active in the Orlando metro — including the Asian tiger mosquito and Culex quinquefasciatus, both of which become active earlier in the season than most residents realize.
Homeowners looking to get ahead of the season are encouraged to eliminate standing water, keep gutters clear, and schedule a professional inspection before April.
