There are over 80 species of Mosquitos in Florida, but the main species of concern are the Culex Mosquito and the Aedes Mosquito.

• Culex – The Culex Quinquefasciatus is also known as the Southern House Mosquito. This is the dusk and evening feeding mosquito that we are most familiar with. Culex Mosquitos are known carriers of West Nile Virus. Although most people do not experience life threatening symptoms, there are a few each year that do.
  
  
• Aedes – The Aedes Albopictus, also known as the Asian Tiger Mosquito is unique in that she feeds during the daytime. These mosquitos can carry diseases as well, but they are most problematic as there is no daytime reprieve from their bites. The Aedes Aegypti, also known as the Yellow Fever Mosquito, are aggressive biters and the primary vector of Zika Virus.

All mosquitoes require water to complete their life cycle. Mosquitoes can lay their eggs in as little amount of water as in a bottle cap. Compared to the rest of the United States, Tequesta has much higher than average rainfall per year. This is a major contributing factor as to why mosquitoes are so very successful in our climate.

Did you know that only female mosquitoes bite? She eats nectar for energy, but she requires the protein and iron in blood to produce eggs. After she digests her blood meals and develops eggs, she deposits them in water. These eggs progress through the larval and pupal phases quickly. Depending on temperature and water conditions it takes from 10-15 days for eggs to develop into an adult. Each female mosquito can lay eggs up to five times during her life. This rapid life cycle is the reason that without pest control intervention your yard feels over-run by mosquitoes.
