Where do mosquitoes thrive even if you don't see water?

Mosquitoes are obvious nuisances, but their young aren’t. These pests grow up in shaded, secluded, wet areas of the yard, making expert Wilberforce mosquito control essential

The outdoor living season is a time of year we all eagerly await in Ohio after a long and chilly, gloomy winter. Greenery and vibrant flowers emerge in a cacophony of colors and smells, yet this wonderful season can be hard to enjoy when pests like mosquitoes return to activity. These pests are notorious for their incessant whining, buzzing, and desire to target us for blood, making them one of the biggest nemeses of outdoor enjoyment. Mosquitoes, despite their small size, are complex creatures that have evolved to have incredibly powerful sensory receptors that allow them to identify smells, heat, CO2, and other variables with ease. Each of these indicators tend to combine and indicate the presence of warm-blooded animals, such as humans. Unfortunately for us, mosquitoes require blood to provide them with the nutrients to lay their young, meaning each mosquito bite you experience could be fueling the next generation of mosquitoes. But this begs the question, where are mosquitoes hiding and breeding in your yard if standing water isn’t apparent? 

Standing Water is Found in Leaves and Other Natural Debris

Usually, standing water is pretty obvious, at least in large quantities. Sadly, mosquitoes only need up to a thimbleful of water in a shaded area for them to lay their eggs and create a healthy batch of new mosquitoes. Thus, leaves, bird baths, and other common backyard elements could be making your outdoor lifestyle worse by providing mosquitoes with the perfect breeding habitat. With these issues in mind, it is essential that you conduct regular yard work to keep these parasites from feeling comfortable in your yard. Additionally, professional mosquito control in Wilberforce is an important consideration.
