Frequently Asked Questions About Mosquitoes
What are mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes are a type of winged insect. They have slender bodies, long legs, and piercing mouthparts. Adults typically grow between 1/8 and 1/4 of an inch long.
While both male and female mosquitoes have piercing mouthparts, only the females use them to penetrate the skin of people and animals and consume blood meals. They require blood meals to create viable eggs and reproduce. An average mosquito's blood meal is 1-4 ml, two and a half times the mosquito's unfed weight.
Mosquitoes are prolific breeders and quickly take over any outdoor space that meets their needs. A single female produces between 500 and 5,000 eggs in its lifetime, half of which are new biting females. The mosquito's entire development cycle, egg to adult, takes only 10 to 16 days.

Where Will I Find Mosquitoes?
Where you will find mosquitoes depends on their life stage.
Female mosquitoes lay their eggs on top of areas of standing water, and mosquito larvae are aquatic and develop into new, flying adults in the water. Adult mosquitoes will stay within a few miles to a few hundred feet of a water source during their lifespan, depending on the species.
Water sources (breeding sites) range from large saltwater marshes to standing water that collects in something as small as a thimble.
Once matured, adults rest during the middle of the day in shady areas protected from the wind and sun, including dense vegetation, covered patios, tree canopies, and entryways.
