Mosquito Lifecycle: From Egg to Adult
Understanding how mosquitoes reproduce helps explain why mosquito control in Atlanta requires consistent, proactive treatment. Mosquitoes go through four distinct life stages:
- Egg – Laid on or near standing water, mosquito eggs can survive for months before hatching.
- Larva – After hatching, larvae feed on microorganisms in water and molt several times.
- Pupa – This non-feeding stage allows the mosquito to develop into its adult form.
- Adult – Within days, adult mosquitoes emerge, ready to feed, reproduce, and start the cycle again.
In Atlanta’s humid climate, this process can take as little as 7–10 days, allowing populations to grow rapidly when left unchecked.
Tip: Eliminating standing water and keeping up with regular treatments are key to interrupting the mosquito lifecycle and reducing breeding sites around your home.
Mosquito Behavior & Disease Risks
Different mosquito species thrive in different environments. For example:
- Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are known carriers of Zika and Dengue and prefer urban areas.
- Culex pipiens is a common transmitter of West Nile virus in Atlanta.
- Anopheles quadrimaculatus can spread malaria in rare cases.
Even if these diseases are rare in Georgia, controlling mosquito populations reduces risk and improves outdoor comfort for your family and pets.
