Mosquitos

Mosquito Identification

Mosquitos are similar to flies, but they have long, thin legs and a big head with a proboscis at the end. They breed in standing water, so anything from a pond to a puddle can lead to mosquitos in the right season. They are most active around dusk and at night. 

Like other insects, mosquitos are real pests because they search for a blood meal. Their bites are extremely itchy and uncomfortable, and some mosquitos even transmit disease through their bites. Mosquitos are crafty and can get into your house through any openings. In most cases, though, they may just remain outdoors close to your home, and that makes it hard to enjoy nice spring and summer nights.
