Mosquito Control in Melbourne, FL

Mosquito Control built for Melbourne homes

Melbourne sits on the mainland with the Indian River Lagoon running along its eastern edge, separating the city from the barrier island and the Atlantic. That lagoon is a shallow, brackish estuary and one of North America's most biologically diverse, and waterways like Crane Creek and the Eau Gallie River flow through Melbourne and drain into it, leaving the flat, poorly drained sandy flatwoods soil across much of the city slow to dry after rain. Melbourne averages 51 to 55 inches of rain annually, with June through October delivering the wettest stretch and the most sustained mosquito pressure around residential properties. Central Florida's occasional winter freezes interrupt activity only briefly, keeping pressure present across most of the year. A recurring mosquito control program matched to that wet-season cycle helps keep activity from building back up between visits.
