A barrier treatment on your property line is separate from Hillsborough County’s area-wide spraying, and both matter in peak season. Call (209) 563-1650.
What’s included
- Monthly barrier treatment of resting sites — foliage, fence lines, shrubs
- Breeding-site reduction and guidance on standing water
- Timing matched to the local May–October mosquito season
- No-see-um and tick reduction where applicable
Why mosquitoes come back after every storm
Every afternoon storm refills gutters, flowerpots, tarps and low spots, and mosquitoes breed in that standing water within days. The Little Manatee River, surrounding wetlands and irrigated farmland add habitat no backyard cleanup can remove, so pressure rebuilds fast between rains.
A monthly barrier treatment keeps a residual on the foliage and fence lines where adult mosquitoes rest, so the population is knocked down continuously rather than only after you spot bites. Dumping standing water after each storm is the other half.
The Wimauma mosquito calendar, and how we time treatment
Timing follows the rain, not the calendar page. Wimauma averages roughly 54 inches of rain and over 100 rainy days a year, with June through September each bringing about 5.5 to 6.2 inches and July the wettest. Pressure climbs from May, peaks through the summer storms, and tails off into the dry fall, though with about 82 days a year over 90 degrees, mosquitoes never fully stop here. We start the monthly barrier before the first heavy storms so the residual is in place when breeding explodes, then keep it fresh through October.
Properties near the Little Manatee River, tidal creeks, wetlands and the stormwater retention ponds built into South Shore subdivisions carry the heaviest load, and those get extra attention to resting foliage and pond edges. The county’s area-wide spraying handles the wider neighborhood; our treatment and your standing-water removal handle your own yard, where most of the biting starts.
