Subterranean termite swarming in East Newnan typically occurs from late March through May, triggered by warm soil temperatures and post-rain conditions. However, termite colonies in Coweta County are active year-round — the swarm is the colony's reproductive event, not the beginning of activity. Swarming indoors or finding shed wings is a strong indicator of an established nearby colony and warrants a professional inspection regardless of time of year.

Mosquito traps that use carbon dioxide, heat, and scent attractants can capture significant numbers of adult mosquitoes but generally cannot reduce a large outdoor population enough to provide meaningful bite protection. They work best as one component of an integrated mosquito management program that includes source reduction and barrier treatments. Traps placed downwind of resting areas and away from human activity zones perform best.

Rain initially disturbs existing breeding sites, but the new standing water created by rainfall becomes productive larval habitat 7 to 14 days after rain events. This lag explains why mosquito pressure typically peaks one to two weeks after significant rainfall. Treatments timed before this emergence cycle are more effective than reactive treatment after adults are already present.

Dense shrubs, ground cover, and tree canopy provide shaded, humid resting habitat that adult mosquitoes use during the day. Unmaintained water features, low-lying areas that don't drain, and heavy mulch beds that hold moisture contribute to mosquito pressure. Thinning vegetation, improving drainage, and managing standing water reduces both resting habitat and breeding sites simultaneously.

Combining source elimination, periodic professional barrier treatment, and physical exclusion provides the most reliable protection for patios and outdoor living areas. Fans reduce mosquito flight in enclosed patio spaces — mosquitoes are poor fliers in wind above 1 mph. Screen enclosures, when sealed properly, eliminate access entirely. Professional treatments targeting resting vegetation immediately adjacent to the outdoor space are the most practical solution for open areas.

Professional pest management companies following best practices time mosquito treatments to avoid flowering plants when pollinators are active and target vegetation where bees don't forage. Early morning or evening applications — when bees are less active — reduce pollinator exposure. Professional applicators can identify which areas of your property require treatment while avoiding active pollinator habitat.

The highest-impact prevention measures are eliminating standing water sources, keeping gutters clean, maintaining well-drained landscaping, and scheduling professional barrier treatments at appropriate intervals during mosquito season. These actions address both the larval breeding cycle and the adult population. Avoiding peak activity hours and using repellent during high-exposure periods reduces individual bites when population pressure is high.

A normal mosquito bite produces immediate redness, a raised wheal, and itching that subsides within hours. Infected bites develop progressive redness, warmth, swelling, and pain that worsen over 24 to 48 hours rather than improving. Streak marks extending from the bite site indicate serious bacterial spread and require immediate medical attention. Fever, chills, or flu-like symptoms following multiple bites warrant medical evaluation for possible mosquito-borne illness.

Some mosquito species can breed indoors if standing water is present — flower vase water, drain trays, and water in catch basins under air conditioners can support larval development. Indoor breeding is far less common than outdoor sources but can be the reason mosquitoes persist inside a home even after outdoor populations are treated.

Mosquito season in Georgia varies by region and elevation. In southern parts of Georgia, mosquito activity typically begins in March or April and continues through October or November. In northern and high-elevation areas, the season may be compressed from June through September. Georgia's climate conditions determine which Aedes and Culex species are dominant and how their seasonal activity windows align with treatment schedules.

Large properties with extensive vegetation, multiple water features, and significant acreage require a comprehensive assessment to identify all resting and breeding sites. Residual barrier treatment of perimeter vegetation combined with larviciding of water features provides the broadest coverage. Misting systems mounted along the property perimeter automate treatment delivery on a programmable schedule for ongoing protection between professional service visits.

Most residential mosquito species, including Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti, have flight ranges of 300 to 600 feet from their breeding site. Culex mosquitoes can travel one to three miles but typically remain within a mile of the wetland or standing water where they developed. This limited flight range means controlling local breeding sources has direct impact on adult mosquito pressure around your home.
