<p>As summer comes to a close, with it go the days of lounging poolside enjoying the warmth of the sun&#8217;s rays. However, while many of the cherishable moments synonymous with summer quickly fade with the arrival of fall, one constant carries over from the warmer months&#8212;mosquitoes.</p><div>Scott Johnson, a <a href="http://mosquitojoefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mosquito-joe-franchisee-shares-late-season-tips-2690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mosquito Joe</a> franchisee serving the Clarkston, Michigan area, understands the importance of keeping up your guard against these pesky blood sucking bugs.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Prior to becoming a Mosquito Joe franchisee, Johnson spent 14 years with TruGreen. However, after discovering <a href="http://mosquitojoe.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mosquito-joe-franchisee-shares-late-season-tips-2690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mosquito Joe</a> through an advertisement, he decided to cash in his retirement to become his own boss with the franchise brand. Now an expert in mosquito control, Johnson recognizes that many people underestimate how resilient these pests can be.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Typically, mosquitoes lie dormant once the weather is consistently 50 degrees or cooler, but there are a few factors that may keep them around longer than residents realize.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&#8220;People don&#8217;t consider them a problem this time of year,&#8221; Johnson said, &#8220;but when they&#8217;re out there doing yard work, one thing that can stir up mosquitoes is raking leaves. They like the moisture, and they&#8217;re still out there looking for their next meal&#8212;they need that nourishment so they can feed their eggs.&#8221;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>According to Johnson, mosquito season typically runs from late April to until mid-October, and as fall comes into season, females begin to lay their eggs. But all it takes is a little moisture to bring the blood thirsty creatures out of their slumber.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&#8220;Mosquitoes will lay dormant or inactive all winter until the moisture arrives,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The eggs will just hatch&#8230;they can lay dormant for years until they get an active supply of water and the temperatures warm up.&#8221;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>However, he suggests the best thing a person can do to fight of mosquitoes is to prepare ahead of the spring season.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&#8220;The best thing you can do is start looking to control spring mosquitoes now. A good fall program helps control the spring,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If you&#8217;re already treating for mosquitoes, one thing you can do is continue mosquito treatments to help control the larvae laid by females so you can better maintain for spring.&#8221;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>He also recommends inspecting your home for ripped screens or any other signs of entry for bugs. &#8220;It&#8217;s just like winterizing your home, but in the spring you&#8217;re doing it for mosquitoes.&#8221;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Johnson said becoming a franchisee with Mosquito Joe was a wise decision.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&#8220;Becoming a business owner was a lifelong dream, and now I get to work with the community and help make their days more enjoyable by removing unwanted pests,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;There were other options, but I put in the research and knew this was the best option for me. I wouldn&#8217;t change a thing.&#8221;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>For more information about Mosquito Joe and their services, visit <a href="http://www.mosquitojoe.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mosquito-joe-franchisee-shares-late-season-tips-2690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.mosquitojoe.com</a>.</div>
