Which Mosquito Bites? Male vs. Female Mosquito Behavior

Not all mosquitoes bite, so which ones do? It all comes down to how mosquitoes raise their young!

When we head to the backyard to savor the nice, warm weather, it’s almost a given that mosquitoes will show up to bite you. It’s a simple fact of living in our region, where mosquitoes emerge in force every year after a long and chilly winter. However, there is a common misconception that all mosquitoes will seek you out for blood, which has to make you wonder, which mosquitoes bite? In our region, the answer is that female mosquitoes are the only ones that bite us, not males. Mosquitoes are typically portrayed as bloodthirsty insects, which they often are, but they don’t consume blood simply for the sake of it. Rather, female mosquitoes require blood meals to acquire the nutrients required to lay healthy eggs that can go on to become adults in a matter of a couple weeks.

Regardless of the reason why mosquitoes bite, the fact remains that they are remarkably annoying during the outdoor living season and can easily force you back indoors, so make sure to take proactive action against them!

Newington Mosquito Control, How it Works

While there are many ways to help reduce mosquito populations on your property, such as by removing standing water, these methods are often insufficient when dealing with mosquito populations that reproduce far more quickly than a DIY method can handle. With the scale of this threat in mind, our team is pleased to offer our mosquito barrier treatments, which are remarkably effective and deliver up to an 85-90% reduction in the mosquito population on your property. Plus, each treatment will last for three weeks at a time, meaning a treatment or two per month will be sufficient to keep you feeling comfortable in your outdoor living areas throughout the spring, summer, and fall! And, if you intend to host an outdoor gathering this year, such as a wedding, graduation celebration, or even a family reunion, we are also pleased to offer our special event treatments. These are applied in the days leading up to your event to ensure the best possible results, substantially reducing pest activity in your event space and helping you savor the special day without constant pest interruptions!
