Female Mosquito


Mosquitoes are slender, delicate flies, usually less than ¼” long, with slender legs, They are easily recognized by the long, sharp proboscis, which immediately distinguishes mosquitoes from midges, fungus gnats, and other similar insects. The male has very feathery antennae unlike the female’s sparsely hairy antennae. The wings of both sexes are coated with delicate scales. At rest the wings are neatly folded over the abdomen. These common insects are best known for the biting habits of females, which must have a blood meal before they can produce eggs. Males do not bite and generally feed on plant juices. Mosquito larvae, called wrigglers, grow to ¾” long and the pupae to ¼”. They live in quiet bodies of water, ranging from fluid-filled leaves of certain plants to stagnant ponds, pools, and lakes. Backed up gutters with standing water are also ideal breeding areas for mosquitoes. Historically, of all insects, mosquitoes are more harmful and have killed more people, because they transmit such serious diseases as malaria, yellow fever and West Nile virus.

Mosquito Larvae

Control - Mosquitoes are attracted to mammal carbon dioxide emissions, and typically are more prevalent during the late afternoon/early evening hours. During the heat of the day they tend to rest on the undersides of leaves and debris. To lessen mosquito presence around your home, eliminate bodies of standing water such as in birdbaths, cans, flowerpots, clogged gutters, stagnant fishponds, etc. If the body of water cannot be eliminated, or you wish not to eliminate it, adding a mosquito larvacide to the water periodically will keep it larva free.

The best time to treat for mosquitoes with pest control products is midday when they are resting on the undersides of plant leaves. Turn the spray nozzle so that it sprays upward, treating these areas thoroughly.
