Once you’re shopping for your vampire costume for Halloween and trying on fake fangs, you shouldn’t have to be swatting real live bloodsuckers trying to bite you with their fangs, right?
Are mosquitoes still out in October, sipping cider and trying to find a pumpkin that will sit flat on the porch?
How long is mosquito season? Mosquito season in Wisconsin and Minnesota typically ends in October when the first hard frost kills the whiny pests.
Mosquito control programs usually wrap up for the season by the end of September, with the last three-week treatment lasting into October when mosquitoes die out. Ticks don’t die in the fall or winter, but become less active when it’s cold.
The first treatments here depend on the weather but typically start in mid-May.

Beware of any mosquito spraying company in Eau Claire or Minneapolis that promises to completely rid your yard of mosquitoes.
We call our mosquito spray service “mosquito reduction.” You absolutely will see a big reduction in mosquitoes and ticks.
How often do you need mosquito yard spraying?
One visit controls mosquitoes — and ticks, too — for three weeks. So you’ll need six visits total throughout the season, one every three weeks for your Eau Claire Wi or Minneapolis yard.
Just like the insect repellent you spray on yourself only lasts so long, it’s the same with the mosquito barrier spray. You need a few visits for continued protection.
Also, mosquitoes are continually reproducing — one of their more annoying habits — so there’s always a fresh frustrating batch to send packing.
Your six visits from spring through fall will reduce mosquitoes throughout the outdoor seasons, from those first fresh days of spring when you’re admiring the tulips you planted right through fall when you pull out your flannel shirts and start baking apple crisp, with drastically fewer mosquitoes to ruin your fun.
Yes. Stay inside when specialists are in your yard spraying for ticks and mosquitoes and while the treatment areas are still wet.
Then, once the spray has fully dried, feel free to go back outside. That takes about 30 minutes.
