Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Milpitas

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Milpitas. Warm temperatures and standing water provide ideal breeding grounds. The region's Mediterranean climate, with wet winters and dry summers, means mosquitoes rely on irrigation and natural water sources. Key influences include:

Seasonal rainfall patterns
Urban landscaping practices
Presence of stagnant water in containers

Additionally, the proximity to the San Francisco Bay and local wetlands creates natural habitats for mosquitoes. Understanding these factors can help residents reduce breeding sites around homes. For more detailed insights, visit the California Department of Public Health's mosquito page.
