During which season are mosquitoes most active?

Mosquitoes are most active during the summer season due to the combination of warmer temperatures and increased humidity, which create ideal breeding and living conditions for these insects. During summer, temperatures typically rise, allowing mosquitoes to complete their life cycles more rapidly. The warm weather facilitates the growth of stagnant water sources where mosquito larvae thrive, and the increased rainfall in many regions can lead to more standing water, further enhancing mosquito reproduction.

Additionally, summer corresponds with longer daylight hours, which extend the time mosquitoes can feed and reproduce. The presence of more human and animal activity during hot weather also provides mosquitoes with ample opportunity to feed, contributing to their increased activity. As a result, public health measures for mosquito control and prevention are often heightened during this season to mitigate the risks of mosquito-borne diseases.
