Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity on Redonda Island

Several factors contribute to the mosquito population fluctuations on Redonda Island. The island's volcanic terrain creates natural water catchments where mosquitoes breed, especially after rains. Key influences include:

Rainfall patterns increasing breeding sites
Temperature affecting mosquito life cycles
Vegetation providing resting areas

Additionally, the island's isolation means fewer predators, allowing mosquitoes to thrive during peak seasons. Understanding these factors helps in anticipating mosquito presence and implementing control measures. For more on local environmental impacts, visit the Antigua and Barbuda Environmental Division.
