How Many Mosquitoes Are There?
There are more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes worldwide, and only some of them bite humans. Mosquitoes need water to complete their life cycle and often breed in small, hidden areas around homes.
Buckets, birdbaths, toys, clogged gutters, and plant trays can all become breeding sites. Only female mosquitoes bite because they need blood to produce eggs.
Mosquito Prevention Around Your Home
Mosquitoes cannot be eliminated entirely, but prevention can greatly reduce activity near your home.
Helpful prevention steps include:
- Removing standing water after rain
- Keeping grass trimmed and shrubs maintained
- Clearing gutters so water drains properly
- Repairing window and door screens
- Using repellents with DEET or picaridin
- Using outdoor fans, since mosquitoes are weak fliers
These steps support any mosquito control plan.
Professional Mosquito Control
DIY prevention helps, but it does not always reach hidden breeding areas or mosquitoes coming from nearby properties.
Professional mosquito control focuses on:
- Inspecting the property for breeding sites
- Treating shaded areas where mosquitoes rest
- Targeting larvae and adult mosquito populations
This approach is helpful for properties with heavy vegetation or ongoing mosquito pressure.

FUN FACT
Mosquitoes are attracted to active people because they produce more CO2 and heat.
Female Mosquito Vampires
Mosquitoes mainly feed on nectar from flowers. The females, however, require blood to produce eggs. That’s why you hear their high-pitched buzzing and feel their irritating bites when you’re just trying to enjoy the weather. We probably don’t need to tell you that these bites can cause pain, swelling, and itchiness.
