Does a untidy room attract more mosquitoes than a normal one?

Most forms of untidiness do not affect the behavior of mosquitoes, but you should be wary of leaving any open breeding grounds for mosquitoes to avoid infestations. Mosquitoes will use stagnant water as a place to lay eggs, so make sure that you have no still bodies of water in your living quarters to avoid a large number of pests. And remember also, that open food left in the room will attract other unwanted pests, such as ants, mice, and so on. Keep your room clean of trash, food, and pools of water, and you will avoid the most common types of pests. Having used clothes laying around or otherwise being generally untidy should not bring about pests, but it has been proven that a tidy room will help improve your health by mental association (a clean body lives in a clean room).
