Mosquitoes are more than just a summer nuisance; they can pose serious health risks. Understanding their lifecycle is key to effective management and prevention.
Mosquitoes undergo four distinct stages in their lifecycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Each stage presents unique challenges and requires different control strategies.
Egg Stage: Mosquitoes lay their eggs on water surfaces. The eggs can survive dry conditions and hatch when re-exposed to water.
Larva Stage: Once hatched, mosquito larvae live in water and feed on organic material. They are often visible and can be targeted with specific treatments.
Pupa Stage: The larvae transform into pupae, a transitional stage where they develop into adult mosquitoes. This stage is short but crucial.
Adult Stage: Adult mosquitoes emerge from the pupal stage and begin the cycle anew. They are the primary pests and can be controlled with targeted treatments.
