What Should Be Done to the Eggs of Mosquitoes?

During the mosquito season, you may start to notice some mosquito larvae in your pool. It’s normal for mosquito larvae to spend time in water, but they must be kept out of the pool.

The first stage of the mosquito life cycle is the egg. Female mosquitoes lay eggs in a wide variety of locations, including standing water. Some species of mosquitoes lay their eggs in a raft, which is a wedge-shaped structure made up of hundreds of small eggs. These eggs stick together due to the attraction of the surface of the water.

Mosquito larvae go through four stages of growth, called instars. In each instar, the mosquito sheds its skin. During the pupa phase, the mosquito develops trumpet-shaped breathing tubes, which it uses to breathe. In a few days, the mosquito transforms into an adult.

Adult female mosquitoes seek out a host by detecting body odors and carbon dioxide. They can feed on the blood of birds, reptiles, and mammals. The mosquito needs protein in the blood to produce eggs.

Female mosquitoes lay eggs singly, or in a group of 25 to 100. Most species of mosquitoes deposit their eggs in water collected in tree holes or ditches.

In the early 1900s, kerosene oil was used to kill mosquito larvae. Now, communities spray pesticides to control mosquitoes. But it is important to remember that larvae are just as important as the adult stage of the mosquito’s life cycle.
