Tired of mosquitoes ruining your yard in St. Louis? Learn why one-time sprays aren’t enough—and how ongoing mosquito control from STL Pest Control keeps your family protected all season long.
Why Mosquitoes Are a Big Problem in St. Louis
If you’ve spent even one summer in St. Louis, you know how fast mosquitoes can turn a beautiful evening into a battle. Our warm, humid Midwest climate creates the perfect storm for mosquito breeding—especially from April through October.
They don’t need much to multiply. Just a little standing water—like a clogged gutter, birdbath, flowerpot tray, or even a bottle cap—is enough to produce hundreds of new mosquitoes in days.
Beyond the itchy bites, mosquitoes also pose real health risks here in Missouri:
- West Nile virus
- Heartworm (for pets)
- St. Louis encephalitis (yes, it’s named after our city for a reason!)
What One-Time Sprays Really Do (and Don’t Do)
Many homeowners try a single mosquito spray and expect the problem to vanish. Unfortunately, that’s rarely how it works.
✅ What it does:
A one-time spray may reduce the number of adult mosquitoes around your yard—for a short period.
❌ What it doesn’t do:
- It doesn’t eliminate eggs or larvae, which continue to develop and hatch.
- It doesn’t stop new mosquitoes from flying in from surrounding properties.
- It doesn’t create a lasting barrier to protect your family week after week.
The truth? You’ll be right back where you started in just a few days.
