Prevention

Eliminate or reduce mosquito breeding sites by replacing all standing water at least once a week. This includes birdbaths, ponds, and unfiltered pools.

A few good things to know about Mosquitoes that will help you:

Mosquitoes are most active from dusk to dawn.
Only the Female mosquito "bites" and sucks our blood.
Male mosquitoes do not "bite." They feed on plant nectars.
Mosquitoes will fly up to 14 miles for a blood meal.
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant, standing water sources such as storm drains, old tires, children's wading pools and birdbaths.
Mosquitoes can develop from egg to adult in 10 to 14 days.
Female mosquitoes can lay a "raft" of 50-300 eggs on the surface of a pond or standing water and hatch within 2–3 days. The female requires a blood meal for every batch of eggs she lays.
When a female mosquito "bites," she applies small saliva before drawing blood. The saliva makes penetration of the skin easier and prevents the blood from clotting.
The welts that appear after the mosquito "bites" are not a reaction to the wound, but an allergic reaction to the saliva injected to prevent clotting.
Female mosquitoes use the CO2 we exhale as their primary cue to our location.
Mosquitoes are relatively fragile insects with an adult life span of about two weeks.
Mosquitoes are the most formidable transmitters of disease in the animal kingdom and spread diseases such as West Nile Virus & malaria.
The Culex Mosquito carries the West Nile Virus and lives and feeds high up (above 6 to 8 feet) in trees where the birds are found. This mosquito does not come down to feed, and as a result, we find birds in every corner of Shelby County infected. However, we have relatively few human cases of West Nile compared to the distribution of the Culex Mosquito.
