Mosquitoes often lay eggs in stagnant water, making any standing water around your home a potential risk. Common places where mosquitoes might breed are:
Mosquitoes rely on standing water to reproduce. While they prefer shallow, stagnant pools, they’re also known to lay eggs in deeper puddles. A single female can lay between 100 and 300 eggs at once, placing them directly on the water’s surface. These egg clusters, or “rafts,” are tiny, only about ¼ inch long, and may appear as small specks floating in the water.

Water is essential for mosquito reproduction, as their eggs need it to hatch. Some species lay eggs directly on the water’s surface, while others deposit them near standing water. In rare cases, eggs laid farther from water can survive for years before hatching. Still, most mosquitoes depend on water to complete their life cycle.
Your yard may contain several spots where mosquitoes can breed. These pests are highly opportunistic and will take advantage of even the tiniest pool of stagnant water to lay their eggs. That’s why it’s essential to stay proactive in preventing your property from becoming a mosquito breeding site year after year.
