Why do I see more scorpions after monsoon rains?

Monsoon rains flood underground burrows, forcing scorpions to the surface. Their prey (crickets, cockroaches) also surges after rain, increasing scorpion activity. Expect elevated scorpion pressure for 2-4 weeks after significant rain events.

How quickly do mosquitoes breed after monsoon flooding?

Mosquitoes can complete their life cycle in as little as 7-10 days. A female can lay 100-300 eggs in a container as small as a bottle cap. Eliminate all standing water within 24 hours of a rain event.

Does monsoon rain wash away pest control treatment?

Yes. A heavy rain event can reduce the effectiveness of an exterior perimeter treatment by 50% or more. Call your pest control company after significant rain events to request a re-treatment. Most service contracts include this.
