All mosquitoes breed where there is water

Mosquitoes thrive mostly in moist, swampy settings like ponds and puddles. They lay their eggs in the water, and when they hatch, the eggs become larvae, also known as mosquito larvae. The mosquito larvae spend some time in the water before changing into pupae, which subsequently mature into adult mosquitoes and fly away.

Female mosquitoes can lay eggs in areas with little or a lot of water. As a result, it is common to see mosquito larvae rapidly multiplying in bathtubs, roof gutters, and even old tire covers. After a downpour, some species can even reproduce in puddles. Therefore, you must eliminate any standing water both inside and outside your home if you don't want mosquitoes to nest there.
