The Aedes Species
The Aedes species is one of the most prevalent mosquitoes in the state! The Aedes mosquito is a very active mosquito throughout most of the day.

The Aedes Mosquito prefer areas with heavy brush and forest. This invasive mosquito can be found all around the world and breed very rapidly.
Anopheles Species
The Anopheles species of mosquito can be a quite nasty one that is known for carrying malaria. While malaria is not much cause for concern in today’s modern world, it is still something you should be aware of. The Anopheles species will take any blood meal it can get, human or animal. These mosquitos stay active during dusk and dawn. These mosquitos need areas of moisture in order to effectively breed and live. Any areas of water collection need to be regularly removed and maintained in order to really eradicate these mosquitos.
The Culex Species
The Culex species of mosquito is often referred to as the common house mosquito. This species of mosquitos is one you need to worry less about. The Culex species prefers other mammals such as birds rather than humans. But do not be misinformed… they sill still bit you too. This mosquito is most active during the evening hours. The Culex species is known to carry the West Nile virus, which they tend to pick up from the birds they feed off of. Blood meals are essential for the survival of this mosquito to feed their larvae to transition into the adult phase. It is key to cut these pests off at the source. As for all mosquitos, try and eliminate as many possible breeding grounds near your home.
