If you live in New Port Richey, you’ve seen the rain. It’s been coming down in sheets recently, and as we move into hurricane season it shows no signs of slowing down. But, what does all this extra rain mean? Well, that’s simple. Your lawns are going to grow, and parasites are going to lay eggs. In particular, the New Port Richey Mosquito is going to rise in population. Today, we’ll discuss the mosquito’s life cycle, and what you can do about it.
New Port Richey Mosquito: Life Cycle
The mosquito goes through four separate and distinct stages of its life cycle: Egg, Larva, Pupa, and Adult. Each of these stages can be easily recognized. But the most important stage is the eggs because that’s your best chance to stop them. Mosquito eggs are laid one at a time and formed into “rafts”.
This is why prevention is the key. When you find containers around your property, make sure to empty them of water. Let’s say you have an old kid pool on your lawn. If that fills with even a little bit of water, that can lead to thousands of new mosquito eggs. That’s why after every rain you should be sure to empty it.
