Mosquito Treatment and Control in Palm Springs, FL

Life Cycle of Mosquitoes in Palm Springs

In Palm Springs there are three main types of mosquitoes that are bothersome to people. Culex Quinquefasciatus or the Common Southern House Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. Aedes Albopictus or Asian Tiger Mosquito is unusual in that she bites during the daytime. The other frequent mosquito visitor in Loxahatchee is the Aedes Aegypti or Yellow Fever Mosquito. In addition to the irritating itchy welts, mosquitoes are vectors for diseases such as Yellow Fever, Dengue Fever, Chikungunya, Zika, West Nile Virus, Heart Worms in dogs, and St. Louis Encephalitis Virus.

Mosquitoes become active when temperatures reach 55 degrees, so they are almost always active in Loxahatchee. Both male and female mosquitoes eat nectar for energy; it is only the females that bite. Female mosquitoes lay hundreds of eggs at a time and she requires a blood meal for production of these eggs. After feasting on protein rich blood, 2-3 days later the female mosquito will lay eggs in standing water. She is immediately ready to feast/bite again and lay more eggs. Mosquito populations expand very quickly in the constant warmth of south Florida as the life cycle of the mosquito is quite fast. From the laying of the egg to the emergence of the adult is usually only 8-10 days.
