How do mosquitoes breed?
Mosquito's life goes through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Mosquitoes like to lay eggs in clear water, such as rivers, rain pools, ponds, ponds, rice fields and mountain streams. In warm seasons, eggs can hatch in about three days and begin to eat tiny microorganisms and protozoa growing in water.

They lean on two air holes at the end of their bodies and suck air near the water surface. After molting, the baby finally stops eating and becomes a pupa. After about two or three days, the pupa surfaced, shed its skin and emerged as an adult.

Male and female mating is mostly in the early morning or evening. First, male mosquitoes fly around in groups in treetops, eaves, windows or open places. Female mosquitoes seize the opportunity to join the team and mate quickly in flight.

Male mosquitoes only suck grass juice and live on nectar, not blood. Female mosquitoes have to feed on blood (human or animal blood) eggs after mating to develop and mature, so only female mosquitoes can spread diseases. Female mosquitoes can lay eggs once after full blood, and they can lay eggs six to eight times in their lives, with 200 to 300 eggs each time. So killing a mosquito early is equivalent to killing hundreds of mosquitoes.

Mosquito breeding area:

1. The waterlogged area at home is an excellent spawning ground for mosquitoes. In fact, mosquito larvae can be seen by the naked eye. Under normal circumstances, mosquito larvae can be found in stagnant water in residents' homes, balconies and gardens.

2, general household water:

Is there water in the toilet? No mosquitoes? Because toilet water belongs to running water, there are no mosquitoes in the running water environment. Are there mosquito larvae in the bucket? Because the water in the bucket belongs to dead angle water, the dead angle water needs to be cleaned frequently.

Hydroponics can accumulate water, can mosquitoes reproduce quickly? Hydroponics are both living water and stagnant water. To be vigilant, it is necessary to change water frequently and clean it regularly, otherwise mosquito larvae will multiply in it.
