Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Hanover Park

Several environmental and human factors influence mosquito populations in Hanover Park. Warm temperatures and standing water from frequent summer rains create perfect breeding conditions. The urban layout, including parks like the Water Works Park, provides shaded, moist areas where mosquitoes thrive. Additionally, the presence of ornamental ponds and poorly drained yards can increase local mosquito density. Here's what affects their activity:

Temperature and humidity levels
Availability of stagnant water
Vegetation providing shelter

Understanding these helps locals and visitors take proactive steps to minimize exposure during peak mosquito hours, typically dawn and dusk. For more tips on managing your environment, visit Illinois Department of Public Health's mosquito control page.
