Mosquitoes Mating
Re
Mosquitoes are small flying insects that feed on human and animal blood or A
plant juices. Only female mosquitoes bite to get a blood meal for their be
growing eggs. Mosquitoes usually are considered a nuisance pest, bute
occasionally they can transmit disease.
There are about 70 species of mosquitoes in New York State. Several A
species can transmit eastern equine encephalitis (EEE, "triple E") and West
Nile virus (WNV). EEE and WNV are viral infections that can cause serious
de
illness and even death.
A.
Many mosquitoes lay their eggs in even small amounts of standing water ka
around the home. Eggs can develop in any standing water that remains for w
more than four days. Many mosquitoes breed in discarded tires. Weeds, tall th
grass and shrubbery provide an outdoor home for adult mosquitoes. d
Mosquitoes also can enter houses, apartments and buildings through o
unscreened windows and doors or through broken screens. Some m
mosquitoes are most active between dusk and dawn when the air is calm a
and the females are most likely to bite. However, other mosquitoes will feed
he
at any time of the day.
