April showers bring May showers? Yes, in the case this year, a wet and snowy April led to one of the wettest Mays on record for most of the Northern Illinois area. The rain was great for any seeding jobs performed in Spring, at least the ones that were able to get performed due to the soft and wet ground conditions all Spring. The rain in May was great for germinating grass seed, making grass grow and keeping weeds under control for the most part. However, the worst scenario for too much rain is yet to come. Excess Spring rain will most likely lead to a mosquito population explosion once the temperatures rise into the 70's and 80's. High water levels allow for eggs left from previous high water levels to hatch along with providing plenty of nesting opportunities for mosquitoes this year.
Mosquitoes have been hindered so far this season due to the lower than average temperatures. Mosquitoes generally don't like sub 70 degree weather and tend to stay less active in this temperature range. As the temperatures rise in the coming weeks this will change drastically. As the daily average temperatures rise so will the mosquito activity. Lawn Doctor of Antioch-Gurnee-Kenosha has a terrific service to help reduce and even eliminate the mosquito population from your property.
