April Is National Pest Management Month: Here’s Why It Matters for Your Backyard

Did you know that April is National Pest Management Month? It’s the perfect time to shine a spotlight on the importance of protecting our homes, yards, and families from unwanted pests — especially as we head into warmer months.

At DC Mosquito Defense, we see firsthand how quickly pest problems like mosquitoes can spiral out of control in the spring. That’s why April isn’t just another month for us — it’s a chance to help our community get ahead of the bug season.

Why Pest Management Matters in April

As the weather warms up, mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests come out of hibernation and start breeding fast. April marks the start of their active season — and once they get comfortable, they’re hard to get rid of.

Left untreated, mosquitoes can turn your outdoor spaces into no-go zones, not to mention the health risks they pose with diseases like West Nile and Zika.

National Pest Management Month Is a Call to Action

This month is all about raising awareness of the benefits of proactive pest control, including:

• Protecting your family’s health

• Preventing costly property damage

• Creating safe, enjoyable outdoor spaces

• Supporting local pest control professionals who keep communities safe
