Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are quite the pests, most notorious for their bloodsucking abilities. This characteristic trait belongs solely to the females, which feed on blood to help generate their eggs. In addition to inflicting itchy bites, mosquitoes are quite troublesome—in fact, these pests are responsible for more deaths than any other animal on the planet! Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like the West Nile virus, dengue fever, and other serious illnesses. They may also be dangerous and even lethal to beloved pets, as some mosquito species can transmit heartworms and specifically target animals such as birds and dogs.

How to Identify Mosquitoes

With more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes throughout the world, there are about 40 varieties that can be found in the Southwest region. A few of the most common types of mosquitoes in Arizona include:

Aedes Aegypti, which can fly as far as half a mile
Anopheles, which can fly as far as 2 miles
Culex, which can fly as far as 5 miles

Typical features of mosquitoes in Arizona and Las Vegas include:

Black or gray with white underbellies
Long legs and humped abdomens
Needle-like mouthparts (called a proboscis) used for piercing skin and sucking blood
Most active from dusk until dawn or with sufficient cloud cover in dark, shady areas during the day

How to Prevent Mosquitoes in Arizona

Mosquitoes need water for breeding; that’s why they are attracted to places around your yard and garden. To keep mosquitoes at bay, first and foremost, eliminate and address any sources of standing water on your property:

HVAC condensation
drainage pipes
buckets and containers
low spots or dips in the ground
other areas that collect moisture

While out in your yard, try to avoid becoming a mosquito magnet by:

being mindful of the time of day
using insect repellent
wearing protective clothing
burning outdoor repelling candles
