Intro & Fun Fact:
Mosquitoes are small flying insects best known for their itchy bites and ability to spread diseases such as malaria, dengue, and West Nile virus. They breed quickly in still water and are most active at dawn and dusk. Fun fact: Only females bite—males prefer nectar!
Why they exist:
- Standing water in pots, gutters
- Overwatered gardens
- Dense plant cover
- Humid weather
- Open water containers
Prevention tips:
- Empty stagnant water weekly
- Use citronella or lemongrass plants
- Install mosquito netting
- Maintain airflow
- Use biological controls (e.g., mosquito dunks)
