Environmental Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Feltham

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Feltham. The town’s proximity to the River Crane and nearby green spaces like Feltham Park creates ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Warm temperatures and standing water after rainfall encourage mosquito larvae development. Here are key influences on mosquito activity:

Temperature and humidity: Warmer, humid conditions boost mosquito breeding.
Water sources: Ponds, puddles, and containers hold water where mosquitoes lay eggs.
Vegetation: Dense shrubs and tall grass provide shelter.

Understanding these factors helps locals and visitors anticipate mosquito presence. For tips on reducing breeding sites around your home, visit the Royal Horticultural Society's gardening advice.
