Learn All About Mosquitoes

The more you know about mosquitoes, the better you can predict and control their behavior. Here are some interesting facts to help you on your way.

Lifespan

Female mosquitoes can live for several weeks, while males typically live for about a week. Females are responsible for biting as they need blood to develop their eggs.

Diet

While male mosquitoes feed on nectar and plant juices, female mosquitoes require a blood meal to reproduce, feeding on humans and animals.

Breeding Habits

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and their larvae, known as wigglers, develop in water before emerging as adults.

Disease Transmission

Mosquitoes are vectors for several serious diseases, including Zika Virus, West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever, and Malaria.
