Mosquitoes in Arizona: Still Active During Winter

Many people assume mosquitoes disappear when temperatures cool—but in Arizona, that’s not entirely true. Thanks to our mild desert climate, mosquitoes can remain active well into winter, especially in areas with consistent warmth, standing water, or irrigation.

At Nice Pest Company, we know that mosquito season doesn’t always end when the calendar says it should. Our Arizona mosquito control services protect families year-round from these buzzing biters.

Why Mosquitoes Stay Active in Arizona Winters

While mosquito activity slows down as temperatures drop, Arizona’s winters are often too warm for a full stop.

• Mild Nights: Daytime highs in the 60s–70s keep mosquitoes alive and breeding.

• Standing Water: Irrigation systems, birdbaths, and pool covers create breeding spots.

• Urban Heat: Cities like Phoenix, Mesa, and Chandler trap heat, extending mosquito season.

• Sheltered Spots: Mosquitoes rest in shaded patios, garages, and dense vegetation, waiting for warmer days.

Even when you don’t see swarms, mosquitoes can survive in pupae or egg form, hatching once the temperature rises again.

Where Winter Mosquitoes Hide

• Drip lines & planters that collect water.

• Pool covers that trap moisture.

• Buckets, pots, and outdoor toys holding small puddles.

• Landscape drainage areas and shady backyards.

• Neighborhood irrigation systems that run year-round.

One tablespoon of water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed—so eliminating moisture is key.
