They don't, that's rather the point of some mosquito prevention programs.
The reason there are still mosquitos despite the programs is that there is never no water. We can try to reduce or treat large bodies standing water that mosquitos can get to, but it's not possible to completely get rid of it.
Mosquitoes breed in stagnent water and it takes seven to ten days from the time a mosquito lays her eggs on water to become 100 to 400 larvae
Do let water sit around. A teacup of water is enough for a mosquito to breed in. If you have a pond you can get fish called mosquito fish that will eat the larva.
Mineral and tap water do not have the tiny insects that mosquitos feed on.So, the mosquitos' larve would die from starvation.
Mosquitos are tend to lay their eggs on standing water, so while pouring oil in pits and other stagnant water bodies reduce the chances of developing mosquitos, also spraying oil layer on water decrease the suface tension of water so whenever mosquitos try to sit on the top layer of water they just get sink and die.
use soap and water and spray it.
Yes, if the weather outside is sunny in the winter. But not much. Gnats bite me at night but now is winter
eliminate source of stagniant water
The only way is to avoid contact with disease carrying mosquitos. Breaking the breeding cycle is an effective mechanism in reducing the liability of contact. Mosquitos breed in shallow stagnant water so meticulous care is taken in dengue areas to keep yards and public areas free of discarded containers, tyres, bottles etc.
While it does not get rid of mosqitos per se, the mosquitos won't bite you (and really that is all I am concerned about). Get your clothes smokey (like from a camp fire) and wear them that way. Mosquitos don't like smoke and will not come near you if you smell like it.
No. We don't have mosquitos and we don't have unsafe water.
No they do not eat mosquitos
The mosquitos will substrate on the water surface. Another good sentence would be, the minnows get their nourishment from the substrate of the water.
