What Influences Mosquito Activity in Abbotsford?

Several factors influence mosquito populations around Abbotsford, particularly its mild, wet climate and abundant water sources like the Fraser River. Mosquitoes thrive in standing water, so heavy rains or irrigation can increase breeding sites. Here are key influences:

Water availability: Ponds, ditches, and even clogged gutters provide breeding grounds.
Vegetation: Dense shrubbery offers shelter and feeding spots.

Understanding these helps locals manage risks. For example, residents near the Abbotsford International Airport often monitor water pooling to reduce mosquito breeding. Learn more about mosquito habitats to protect your home.
