Why Mosquitoes Thrive in Easton

Several factors influence mosquito activity in Easton. The city's humid continental climate, combined with frequent summer rainfall, creates ideal conditions for mosquitoes. Stagnant water in the city's numerous parks, including the scenic Hugh Moore Park, provides breeding sites. Additionally, urban landscaping and residential areas with poorly drained yards contribute to mosquito proliferation. Key influences include:

Temperature: Warmer temperatures accelerate mosquito life cycles.
Water availability: Standing water is crucial for larvae.
Vegetation: Dense foliage offers shelter.

Understanding these factors helps residents take targeted actions to reduce mosquito populations.
