Where to mesquitos lay their eggs and how can I prevent from getting near them??

Answer 1

in stagnant water.... dry river beds, or water retention ponds that are not aerated....

make sure you don't have old planters full of water.... just sitting there. IF you do .. dump them.

Basically anywhere there is sitting water.. you'll find them.

Answer 2

All of the previous answers are correct, I just have some additions:

Different species of mosquitoes have different habitat requirements as to where exactly they will lay their eggs.

Some species are what is known as 'raft layers', and it is these species that lay their eggs directly on the surface of the water - floating in a tiny raft, which later hatch into aquatic mosquito larvae.

There are also other species that will lay their eggs on the stems of vegetation along the margins of a pond or pool. Most commonly, these are floodwater species - the eggs won't hatch until the water in the pond rises far enough to wash over the eggs, activating them. The eggs remain dormant until they hatch, and can actually survive for several years before hatching, which is how mosquitoes can suddenly emerge in huge numbers immediately following a flood or heavy rain - all those eggs that have been waiting just hatched.

Some of these floodwater species will even lay their eggs on grass that is just moist. Especially if they are in small hollows that collect rainfall, the moist grass may only get flooded for a few days every years, but that's enough to produce a generation of mosquitoes from the eggs that have been sitting there dormant.

So to completely avoid mosquito eggs, you would have to avoid any areas that might have grass that gets moist. Since most places have grass, or even some other kind of vegetative ground cover, or there's something there that might hold some stagnant standing water, it's pretty much impossible to completely avoid mosquito eggs.

Answer 3

Mosquitos also like to lay eggs in the stagnant water that collects in old tires.

Answer 4

Mosquitoes need a source of water to lay there eggs. Usually standing water. Get rid of the water of treat it with something that will make the water uninhabitable.

Answer 5

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in water especially stangnant ones.The eggs or larvae hangs just beneath the water surface.The larvae then take in air through special tubes extended to the surface of the water. Spraying the water surface with oil or kerosine or any liquid that seals access of air to the larvae , kill or destroy them totally.

Answer 6

Usually they breed in any "standing water'. Remove any containers that have old water accumulated in them. Stay away from ponds with stagnant water.

Answer 7

if there are any stagnant pools of water lying around waiting to evaporate, but they havent yet, thats where you'll find thousands of mosquito larvae in there. thats where they hatch becuz they wont be disturbed....

Answer 8

in stagnant water, puddles and so on.

If you weaken the surface tension of the water, the lavae cannot stay on the surface and they drown
