A mosquito’s life cycle from egg to adult takes approximately 8-10 days. Mosquitoes typically live for a few weeks to a few months, varying based on species, temperature, humidity, and gender. Females generally live longer, especially in warmer temperatures.

Our Yard Enjoyment Plan treats monthly during the spring, summer, and early fall months, significantly reducing the presence of mosquitoes. By regularly treating your yard, we capture mosquitoes at every life stage, preventing their maturation and reproduction.

When a mosquito bites, it pierces your skin, drawing blood and injecting saliva. When that saliva enters your blood, your body treats it like an allergen, making your immune system release histamine. That’s what makes mosquito bites itch and swell. Many people have a mosquito bite allergy.

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide exhaled by humans and animals from a distance, helping them find potential hosts.
• Body Heat: Mosquitoes are drawn to the heat produced by warm-blooded animals, helping them find potential blood sources.
• Body Odor and Sweat: Mosquitoes are attracted to body odors and sweat compounds, making individuals with higher levels of certain chemicals, like lactic acid and uric acid, more appealing to them.
• Skin Chemicals: Mosquitoes are sensitive to various chemicals present on the skin, including those found in lotions, soaps, and perfumes.
• Dark Clothing: Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, especially black and red. Wearing lighter-colored clothing may help reduce mosquito attraction.
• Pregnancy: Pregnant women and individuals with higher metabolic rates tend to produce more carbon dioxide and body heat, making them more attractive to mosquitoes.
• Standing Water: Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so areas with stagnant water, such as ponds, puddles, and containers, provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk, but the specific peak activity times can vary based on the mosquito species and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Mosquitoes become active anytime the temperature is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit; however, they thrive above 75 degrees. Extreme heat with no humidity can cause mosquitoes to dry out and die. Whatever temperature or humidity you’re dealing with, our technicians know just how to take care of the mosquitoes in your yard. Call Fox Pest Control today!
