Mosquito Control in Astoria, Oregon

Mosquito Control in Astoria, Oregon

Astoria homeowners in Clatsop County deal with mosquitoes on a seasonal cycle, and the volcanic loam and the Mediterranean to oceanic climate keep the pressure present through the year. Mosquito Control here is about matching the treatment to the local conditions, not a one-size-fits-all spray.

Why Astoria homes get mosquitoes

The setting around Astoria does most of the work. The volcanic loam holds the moisture the pests need, the the coast, the Willamette Valley, and the Cascades offers shelter, and the Mediterranean to oceanic climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Pacific, the Columbia River, and the Willamette and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.
