All About MosquitosAll About Mosquitoes


Mosquitoes are not just a nuisance; they can harbor of very serious diseases that affect millions world-wide.  Because mosquitoes feed on the blood of animals and humans, they can easily transmit diseases; which is why it is so important to control them.

 

No wonder they are so prevalent:  The mosquito reaches its mature adult state in as little as 4 days, but most reach full maturity within two weeks.  After only two days as an adult, a female mosquito is able to bite its first victim.

Female mosquitoes can lay up to 300 eggs at one time.  Some female mosquito species need very little water to lay eggs.  Water sources could include the ruts of a tire track, a small hole in a tree, a small flowerpot, or even an old coffee cup.
