Mosquito breeding grounds

Stagnant water source

Female mosquitoes will lay their eggs in any stagnant water on your premises especially during the summer months when it is mosquito season. Buckets, marshes, and pools are all examples of stagnant water sources.

Air conditioner drip trays

Air conditioners are known for accumulating a lot of stagnant water. As a result, it is one of the most favourable breeding grounds for mosquitoes. To reproduce, a female mosquito uses air conditioner drains and residual pans to lay her eggs. Mosquitoes might also enter your home through the air conditioning vents.

Wood piles and tree stumps

Wood piles and tree stumps are other sites where stagnant water can be found. This is also where mosquitoes can lay their eggs and reproduce.

Trash cans

Trash cans normally have covers. However, the majority of recycling containers do not. When trash cans are left outside uncovered, they can hold a significant amount of rainwater where mosquitoes breed.
