Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Delft

Several environmental factors influence mosquito populations in Delft. Key contributors include:

Warm temperatures during summer
Standing water in canals and ponds
Humidity levels

The city's famous canals, while picturesque, provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes if water flow is stagnant. Additionally, urban green spaces and the nearby Delftse Hout lake can increase local humidity, creating ideal conditions for mosquitoes to thrive. Understanding these factors helps residents take proactive measures, such as eliminating standing water around homes or using repellents when exploring the historic city center.
