Mosquito Facts

1. Mosquitoes are responsible for more human death than any other living creature.
2. Male mosquitoes do not bite. The real risk is from female mosquitoes which bite when in search of a blood meal to provide protein for their eggs.
3. Most adult mosquitoes live for about two weeks.
4. There are over 2,500 species of mosquitoes in the world.
5. The welts that appear after a mosquito leaves isn't from the bite - it's an allergic reaction to saliva the mosquito injected under the skin to prevent the blood from clotting
6. Mosquitoes like dark areas and will suck the juice out of plants in order to live - including tree leaves, grass, shrubs, etc.
7. Mosquitoes are "born" in standing water, mud, ponds, tin cans, under decks, puddles and old tires, etc.
8. Hundreds of thousands are "born" each day in your area during infestations.
9. Mosquitoes rarely travel farther than 300 feet from their birthplace.
