Understanding Mosquito Behavior: Essential For Effective Control
Mosquitoes might seem erratic. We assure you that they are not. These pests function under two simple motivators—food and breeding.
Both male and female mosquitoes feed on plant nectar and other similar things. It is only females that steal blood from humans and animals. They need this blood to provide nutrients for their eggs.
Females steal blood and then lay their eggs inside pools of stagnant water. The more water sources there are in your yard, the more likely you will have trouble with these biting pests.
Next, we'll help you understand the possible consequences of mosquito bites. Here are some things to think about.
