Mosquitoes go through four life stages: eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. The first three stages develop in standing water, which is why removing water from containers around your home is one of the most effective ways to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. Take a few minutes each week to empty, drain or cover items that collect water, such as buckets, flowerpots, birdbaths and tires.

By knowing the mosquito lifecycle, we can all help reduce mosquito populations and protect our community from mosquito-borne illnesses.
