Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Aurora

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Aurora. The city's semi-arid climate means rainfall patterns heavily impact mosquito breeding. After spring rains, stagnant water collects in places like the Aurora Reservoir, creating ideal mosquito habitats. Temperature plays a crucial role; warmer weather accelerates mosquito development. Here are key influencers:

Water availability from rain or irrigation
Temperature and humidity levels
Urban landscaping and standing water

Understanding these elements helps residents anticipate mosquito surges. For more on local environmental conditions, visit the Aurora Water Department.
