It is not necessary to cut the grass before spraying for mosquitoes because adult mosquitoes primarily rest and lay their eggs in areas with standing water, such as ponds, swamps, and other damp locations. Mosquitoes do not typically rest on tall grass, and cutting it will not significantly reduce their population. Additionally, mosquito larvae can develop in stagnant water, regardless of whether the grass around it is long or short. Therefore, focusing on eliminating standing water and using insecticides specifically designed for mosquito control are more effective measures in reducing mosquito populations, rather than cutting the grass.
