How to Identify &
Get Rid of
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are small, slender insects with long legs, narrow wings, and a distinctive long proboscis used for feeding on blood. They typically measure between 3 to 6 mm in length and produce a high-pitched buzzing sound while flying. Most mosquitoes are active during early morning and evening hours, and they thrive in warm, humid environments with stagnant water sources—such as puddles, flower pots, drains, and open containers—where they lay their eggs. At AIPM Pest Management, we help you accurately identify mosquito breeding grounds and species to implement effective control strategies for long-lasting protection.

What do Mosquitoes look like?
Mosquitoes are small, flying insects that belong to the order Diptera. They typically have a single pair of wings and are characterized by their long, thin legs and a prominent proboscis, which they use to feed on blood. Their bodies and wings are often covered in tiny scales, giving them a distinctive appearance. Adult mosquitoes can range in size from 3 to 9 mm in length. These features make them easily recognizable, especially during the warmer months when they are most active.

Where are Mosquitoa found ?
Mosquitoes are commonly found in areas with stagnant water, which serves as their primary breeding ground. This includes water collected in flower pots, buckets, clogged drains, uncovered tanks, coolers, gutters, and even bottle caps. Outdoors, they thrive in gardens, near ponds, marshes, and shaded, humid areas. Indoors, they hide in dark corners, behind curtains, or under furniture during the day. Mosquito populations increase significantly during the monsoon season due to water accumulation.

Understanding Mosquitoes & Prevention
Mosquitoes are not just irritating—they are dangerous vectors of diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and Zika virus. Attracted to body heat and carbon dioxide, they breed rapidly in stagnant water and thrive in humid environments. Understanding mosquito behavior is key to controlling their spread. To prevent infestations, eliminate standing water around your home, regularly clean containers, cover water tanks, unclog drains, and maintain a tidy garden. Use mesh screens on windows and apply repellents when needed. At AIPM Pest Management, we offer expert mosquito control treatments using safe, odorless methods that target breeding sites and protect your home or workplace year-round.Mosquitoes are attracted to areas with standing water, shade, and shelter, commonly found in gardens, wetlands, urban spaces, and homes.
