Mosquitoes may have a short life span, but they can reproduce in massive numbers during their time on earth. A single female mosquito can create up to 400 million progeny in a single season. To protect your property from these awful pests, it is absolutely crucial to take strong action to prevent mosquito breeding. With our expert mosquito control in the Washington area, Lawn Doctor of Southern Utah-Las Vegas North delivers proven treatments to cut down these pests throughout their life cycle.
Phases of the Mosquito Life Cycle
In order to properly address this issue and keep your home or business protected, it is important to understand the way mosquitoes progress through their life cycle. Here are the phases of their existence:
- Eggs. Mosquitoes lay their eggs on a body of standing water. Females can lay hundreds of eggs at a time, and these eggs only take about 48 hours to reach the larva stage.
- Larva. Once the eggs mature into larvae, these pests will live in the water rather than on top of the surface. They will come up for air and feed off of organic matter in the water.
- Pupa. During this stage, the mosquitoes transition into adulthood like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
- Adult. When mosquitoes reach adulthood, they live on the surface of the water for a short period while their body hardens. After a day or two, they will operate at full capacity, flying around in search of blood for their reproductive process.
