The buzz on mosquitoes
Getting a handle on how mosquitoes operate can help individuals take control of these pests before they infringe on outdoor entertaining throughout the warmer months. Review the following facts about these painful pests, courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Cumberland County, NJ.
• Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing (stagnant) water where they will hatch into larvae. A single female lays between 50 and 200 eggs, and can do so up to three times before they die. Without adequate water, mosquito eggs will dry up. Moving water disrupts their life cycle and prevents them from successfully breeding. Maintaining water movement in ponds, fountains, and other water features can help deter mosquitoes.
• Only female mosquitoes bite. They require a blood meal to produce eggs. Males do not have the mouth parts necessary to bite.
• Although there are more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes, fewer than 200 are found in North America.
• The word “mosquito” comes from the Spanish term for “little fly.”
• A mosquito can drink up to three times its weight in blood.
• Mosquito eggs can hatch in as little as an inch of standing water.
• The two main mosquito predators are fish and dragonflies. Dragonfly larvae eat mosquito larvae, and adult dragonflies prey on adult mosquitoes.
• Mosquitoes can bite day and night.
• Adult mosquitoes live
Weekly
for about two to four weeks. Females often live longer than males.
• Mosquitoes move in on prey by detecting carbon dioxide and other chemical odors released by animals. Visual cues and body heat also can help them pinpoint targets. Genes and body odor can determine if people are more likely than not to be bitten by mosquitoes.
• Mosquitoes are vectors of several illnesses, so it is wise to deter them and do whatever possible to reduce instances of mosquito bites.
