MOSQUITOES’
FAVORITE HABITATS
Because mosquitoes typically lay their eggs
near water, places in the yard where water can
pool up are often desired breeding grounds.
These areas of stagnating water allow the
mosquitoes a favorite spot, but there are some
other areas around the house to be wary of as
potential habitats:
Ornamental foliage. Keeping foliage
like bushes and brush trimmed properly
can help them maintain shape while also
exposing them to more sunlight, helping to
keep them dry.
Low-hanging limbs. Trim limbs to a prop-
er height so that they aren’t so close to
the ground, which is more welcoming for
mosquitoes.
Ground covers. Certain plants, especially
those with wide leaves, can sometimes hold
water either on the leaf itself or in the axil,
which is where the leaf meets the stem.
Wood piles. Consider covering your wood
pile tightly with a tarp to help block mosqui-
toes and other pests from invading.
Mulched areas. Frequently disturbing mulch
with a rake or other garden tool, especially
when it’s wet after a rain, can deter mosqui-
toes from moving in by helping to dry out the
underlying mulch.
Hanging and potted plants. Just like other
objects that can hold standing water, be sure
to empty saucers underneath plants that
could provide a water source.
