Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Guam

Several environmental and climatic factors influence mosquito populations around Tanguisson Beach. Warm temperatures combined with frequent rainfall create stagnant water pools — perfect breeding sites for mosquitoes. Additionally, the coastal vegetation and mangroves near Tanguisson provide shaded resting spots. Key influences include:

Seasonal rainfall patterns
Temperature fluctuations
Local water bodies and wetlands

Understanding these factors helps in predicting mosquito surges. For example, after heavy rains, expect a spike in mosquito numbers within 1–2 weeks. The local term for mosquitoes, 'flying teeth,' reflects the community's awareness of these pesky insects.
