Mosquitoes are an interesting pest when it comes to their egg-laying process. Rather than making a nest for their growing family, they simply use a bit of fresh water as their egg-laying site. Mosquitoes spend three of their four life stages in the water, so female mosquitoes need to find a safe water source that will help their offspring thrive. With Smithton’s rainy springs and muggy summers, mosquitoes have plenty of egg-laying sites to choose from every year.

In a typical yard, some of the most common places that mosquitoes like to lay their eggs include:

• Soaked tarps
• Birdbaths
• A pet’s water dish
• Full plant drainage trays
• Puddles
• Clogged gutters
• Water-filled buckets, pipes, children’s toys, etc.
• Overwatered soil
