Mosquitoes are the most significant & dangerous vector of disease in history and responsible for more human deaths than any other animal. Mosquitoes are well adapted for urban life and are a common nuisance pest in residential backyards. In recent years, the media has significantly increased the public's mosquito awareness due to West Nile virus, Zika virus and encephalitis outbreaks.
Mosquitoes live in a variety of habitats, but they are mainly concentrated near sources of standing water in order to reproduce because mosquito eggs need water in order to hatch. Some species lay their eggs in standing water, while other simply lay their eggs in moist soil and then hatch once the soil is flooded with water. These "floodwater" species lay eggs in the fall that can survive through the winter and then hatch once spring showers flood their habits. One female mosquito can lay up to 200 eggs at a time, which can allow for an infestation to quickly get out of hand.
Mosquito control can be complicated because the bug has the ability to adapt to different and changing conditions. There are methods that you can take to prevent infestations from occurring as well as eliminating one once it has already formed. Take special care to empty out or throw away anything outside that can hold standing water, such as buckets, tins, tires, etc. You can also use traps such as bug zappers or outdoor sprays. If the infestation seems to be out of control, seek the help of your local exterminator in order to deal with the problem effectively.

Generally, mosquito bites simply appear as a small itchy bump, but some people can have more intense reactions to the bites if they are allergic. Although a mosquito bite itself is harmless, mosquitoes are capable of transmitting serious diseases through these bites, such as malaria, yellow fever and West Nile virus. Because of the risk, it is always smart to use insect repellant when outside in order to prevent mosquito bites. If at any time you feel that the bite is serious, seek medical help as soon as possible..
