Mosquitoes are drawn to backyards for several reasons, and understanding these factors is the first step in controlling their presence. One of the primary attractions is standing water, which serves as a breeding ground for mosquito larvae. Even small amounts of stagnant water, such as puddles, birdbaths, or water collected in plant saucers, can become a haven for mosquitoes. Additionally, shaded areas and dense vegetation provide the perfect environment for adult mosquitoes to rest during the day. If your backyard has overgrown bushes, tall grass, or shaded corners, it’s likely to be a mosquito hotspot.
