INTRODUCTION TO MOSQUITOES

Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so properties near ponds, marshes, and depressions that collect rainwater are at risk. Some mosquito species are active at different times of the day, but most emerge just before dusk and are active at night.

A Clements mosquito treatment plan starts with a thorough property inspection by one of our knowledgeable technicians to locate and identify mosquito populations and their breeding sites around your property. Once our free inspection is complete, our team will prepare a mosquito treatment plan that fits your needs and budget.

BIOLOGY & LIFECYCLE

Water provides mosquitoes with a place to lay eggs, grow and develop through their water stages (egg, larval and pupal). After the airborne portion of their life cycle, females return to water to lay a new batch of fertile eggs. Female mosquitoes usually lay their eggs on the surface of water or in areas where water can rise, flood the eggs, and stimulate them to hatch.

Even as adult mosquitoes leave the pupal stage and become adults, water still plays a role because adult mosquitoes exit the pupal stage on the water’s surface and “dry out” before taking flight.

HABITS

The fertilization of the female by the male normally occurs within a few days after the female has left the water source and is searching for her first blood meal. While mosquito breeding may occur near a water source, mosquito breeding is one of the few activities that is not involved directly with a water source.

Water is also a food source while mosquitoes are in their aquatic stages. Mosquitoes feed on the many kinds of particulate matter that occur in water. While water is the source of mosquito food, it also creates the possibility that aquatic-stage mosquitoes may become food for other animals, such as fish.

Nothing But Nets is a global grassroots campaign to raise awareness, funds, and voices to fight malaria.

Since 2006, with the help of partners and supporters, Nothing But Nets has raised over $70 million to help deliver 13 million insecticide treated bed nets to families in need, along with other crucial malaria interventions like diagnostics, treatment, and training of healthcare workers.
