Mosquito season used to follow a predictable rhythm in Maryland: start in late spring, peak during the summer, and taper off by early fall. But those days are gone.
Thanks to climate change, Maryland’s mosquito season is now starting earlier, lasting longer, and bringing a greater risk of mosquito-borne diseases. For homeowners in Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas, that means taking mosquito control seriously — and year-round.
Let’s explore what’s changing, why it matters, and how Mosquito Sheriff can help keep your yard protected with safe, natural mosquito control.
📈 Climate Change Is Extending Mosquito Season
According to the Maryland Department of the Environment and recent climate trend data:
Average temperatures in Maryland have increased by over 2°F since 1900.
Milder winters mean more mosquito eggs survive.
Wetter springs and summers create more standing water — perfect for breeding.
Mosquito activity now starts earlier in April and can extend through October — or even November.

That means more time for mosquitoes to multiply — and more chances for them to transmit diseases like:
West Nile Virus
Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE)
Zika Virus (though rare, cases have occurred in Maryland)

🦟 What Homeowners Are Noticing in Maryland
Especially in areas near water — like Annapolis, Edgewater, Pasadena, and Severna Park — residents are reporting:
Bites earlier in the season
Larger mosquito populations after heavy rains
Mosquitoes lingering well into the fall
Increased concerns about protecting children and pets
These changes require more proactive, longer-lasting solutions — not just citronella candles and bug spray.
