Moquito Life Cycle

PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM MOSQUITOES

  • All mosquitoes need water for their eggs to develop into adult mosquitoes (shallow, Stagnant water)
  • Rain + 7 days = MOSQUITOES !!! But when its really hot, eggs can develop into adult mosquitoes in a shorter period 
  • mosquitoes may have found standing water near your home or in your yard. 
  • Draining standing water eliminates mosquito breeding sites Tires
