All mosquitoes need water to complete their life cycle. These bodies of water are usually very well defined and rather small areas, such as retention basins, ditches, and swimming pools. Even a bucket of water or a discarded water bottle can serve as a mosquito breeding place and can produce hundreds of mosquitoes. Once they hatch out as adults, they fly up to a mile from their original habitat and occupy a much larger space. Therefore we target the mosquito larvae and pupae that live in the water in our control efforts.
