Why do I have a mosquito problem?

Mosquitoes are problematic wherever there is standing water to use as a breeding site. The females lay their eggs on top of standing water. Properties near or with densely wooded areas, ponds, marshes, and drainage ditches are likely to experience large mosquito infestations.

It is important to understand that our yards provide mosquitoes with breeding sites no matter where they are located.

Knowing some of the mosquito’s most common breeding sites will help you inspect your yard and eliminate any you find.

The following things collect rainwater and allow standing water to develop on your property that attracts mosquitoes:

Buckets and flowerpots
Tree hollows, tree stumps, and brush piles
Old tires
Wading pools
The tops of trash can lids and tarps
Low-lying areas
Clogged gutters

Where will I find mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dust when out and about, feeding on blood or the male and female’s primary food source — plant nectar. During the middle of the day, they try to escape direct sunlight by resting in cool, shady areas like areas of tall grass, dense landscaping, tree canopies, and spaces under decks.
