Mosquito Control Program

• Mosquitoes require water to lay eggs and for their development into larvae and pupae.  Finally flying adult mosquitoes emerge from the pupae.
• Only female mosquitoes bite. The blood meal from a bite is used to provide food to the developing egg.
• Male mosquitoes feed primarily on plant nectar.
• Mosquitoes are most active during the hours of dawn and dusk.
• Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance:  they can transmit disease to people.
